FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 1-25-2008


HOSS SIGNS WITH SPECTRA RECORDS

New Nashville recording artist Hoss Howard has accepted to become a signed artist with Spectra Records. What started out as a promise made to his mother on her deathbed has now come full-circle. Hoss’s mother simply ask him to pursue becoming a country music artist, that this world needed his voice, his songwriting, and his passion. Hoss knows that none of this would be possible without her help from the other side. In less than a year after writing the songs for this album and three record deal offers later, Hoss finds a home at Spectra Records. Hoss settled on Spectra Records because of the labels dedication to its artist, their ability to get his music out around the world and to radio, and Spectra’s CEO, Bobby Collins’s passion for music, the artist, and this project. “We are proud to welcome Hoss Howard to Spectra Records. To see him live is to see a rising star, he and the Octane Band will have a powerful effect on country music. We look forward to a very bright future with Hoss”.
