Biography:
The Duke of Norfolk (Adam Howard) is a peripatetic folk musician from Oklahoma. Having grown up in bluegrass territory and later studied Sound Design at the University of Edinburgh, his music nestles somewhere between traditional folk instrumentation and more modern electronic folk. More than somewhat bookish and deeply fascinated by religions & mythologies, Howard’s writing tends to reflect the conflict between the fantastic / idealistic world of books & dreams and the reality of the ordinary.
