John Howie Jr. and the Rosewood Bluff

**John Howie Jr. and the Rosewood Bluff** serve up raw, heartfelt country music steeped in tradition, blending honky-tonk twang with unflinching lyrical storytelling. Frontman John Howie Jr., a North Carolina music scene staple, first gained recognition with his earlier band The Two Dollar Pistols before forming this gritty ensemble. Their 2022 album *Everything Except Goodbye* (featuring tracks like the wistful “Leavin’ Yesterday” and the haunting “(There’s A) Ghost In My Room”) showcases Howie’s deep baritone and knack for mining emotional depth from classic country themes—heartbreak, hard living, and hard-won resilience. The band’s sound leans into pedal steel and Telecaster grit, earning them a loyal following among fans of unfiltered Americana. Recent releases like *Who Needs The Neon* and *The Return Of…* double down on their commitment to keeping traditional country’s flame alive, one tear-in-the-beer anthem at a time.
