Howard Jones has always been one of my favorite 80′s synthpop artists along with OMD, Depeche Mode, Yaz, Pet Shop Boys, etc. So getting the chance to interview him was definitely cool in my book!

He’s a musical gear nerd like me so we talked about those old synths he got started with, back when a keyboard could make maybe 5 different sounds lol. And he still has many of them! Howard is hitting the road with Daryl Hall and Daryl’s House Band, kicking off this week. Check out my interview with Howard below.
