Big Bird Flight To France
Mississippi singer-songwriter Howard Lips is preparing for his forth-coming working holiday to France, where he will be playing in Temples and Coffee Houses in Tours, Paris, and Descartes, France.
His publicist, Jocelyne Que'non, is finalizing public relations press releases and setting up "meet and greet" events with her Artists and Museum clientele so that the veteran legacy songwriter gets maximum exposure for his working holiday. Lips departs from Gulfport, Ms. on or about December 22, 2009 and returns on or about March 22, 2010.
Howard Lips is at the place on his musical journey where all the genres (Folk, Gospel, Blues, Jazz, Rock) blend into a rich musical background to the stories the songwriter tells. The genius of Country music, as Ray Charles so brilliantly demonstrated, embraces all genres in such a way as to bring the very best music from the performer. There is a long musical history of "cross-genre" artists who had tremendous success in Country Music.
Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, Ray Charles, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee Lewis were all Country acts who "crossed-over" and became mainstream "pop" artists.
Lips is ready, having overcome prostate cancer and radiation burns, to spread "Clear Light so all can see...we've got the world in our hands, and I wonder if we understand?"
