Performing a unique, interactive, and highly entertaining program, local singer-songwriter (and former sportswriter) Howie Newman will sing baseball songs, offer up baseball trivia, and tell stories about his days as a sportswriter on the Red Sox beat. Howie covered baseball for The Patriot Ledger, Lowell Sun, Boston Globe, and Associated Press as well as many other newspapers and magazines.
Howie has three CDs of baseball songs: Baseball’s Greatest Hits, Volumes, 1, 2 and 3. The show also includes a free raffle for one of Howie’s baseball CDs and a display of his personal baseball memorabilia. In addition, Howie will tell you all about his Dump the DH campaign, which was featured in Sports Illustrated and landed his bumper sticker in the Baseball Hall of Fame. He also provided color commentary for the Lowell Spinners, a Red Sox farm team, on WCAP radio.
