Howe Gelb, musician/songwriter

Prolific internationally acclaimed musician/songwriter who, with Rainer Ptacek (now deceased) is largely responsible for the incubation of a creatively viable Tucson contemporary music “scene,” over the last 25 years Gelb’s numerous collaborations with others have put Tucson on the international map as a center of unique contemporary music and songwriting and paved the way for the international success of other Tucson-based bands.
