Sunapee CoffeeHouse – Howie Newman and Knock on Wood

One of the most engaging performers on the New England folk circuit, Howie Newman combines music, comedy and audience participation to provide a truly unique entertainment experience.

His amusing compositions are up-tempo and catchy, and he keeps things lively with funny between-songs banter and short comedy bits (there is also a smattering of serious songs).

Song topics include television commercials, baseball, cell phones, middle age dating, the weather, intergalactic garbage collection and more. And the material is totally clean, suitable for all ages.

Newman has opened for Tom Paxton, Vance Gilbert, Brewer & Shipley, Pure Prairie League, Bill Staines, Lui Collins, Don White, Modern Man and many others. His songs have received national airplay on the Dr. Demento Show, National Public Radio and the Midnight Special as well as dozens of other North American outlets
