Soltero is the musical project of songwriter Tim Howard, who currently resides in Brooklyn, NY.

Production history

Soltero has had several incarnations, including a five-piece band (with trumpet and Rhodes piano) and a four-piece band, as well as solo and duo acoustic lineups. The first full-length Soltero album, entitled Science Will Figure You Out, was recorded with members of the Mobius Band and self-released in August 2001. April 2003 saw the release of Defrocked and Kicking the Habit on Handsome Records. The Tongues You Have Tied. an album recorded winter 2003/04 on reel-to-reel 8-track, was put out on Three Ring Records in June 2004. Soltero's 2005 album, 'Hell Train,' was the first to prominently feature his live band of three years. It was first self-released in March 2005, and then released widely by Three Ring Records in November 2005. Soltero's fifth record, You're No Dream, found Howard returning to the solo recording dynamic of earlier work and was released on May 20, 2008. The band's sixth album, 1943, was recorded at Junxt Studio in Brooklyn and was selected by French production company Microcultures as a featured project for release in late 2011.

Career history

Tim Howard graduated from Wesleyan University CT in 2001. As the music industry moved from physical product and toward streaming services, Howard found that Solteir gained a bigger audience with each release, but also earned less money. During a trip through Latin America, he decided to pursue a career in public radio. He applied for an internship at Radiolab and began working there in part because producer Lulu Miller was a fan of his music. Howard currently works for the Gimlet Media podcast Reply All and continues to write and record music in his spare time.[1]
