Dr. How and the Reasons to Live
Dr. How, has been together for over 20 years, playing everywhere from regional venues to festivals.
Our Music
Our Shows
From improvisational jam-based rock and blues to folk and country, the backbone of the band’s style has always been the original songwriting.
New Album Out!
We've been releasing singles from one of our live performances over the last few weeks. They are free on any popular streaming service!
If you would rather own your music or simply feel like supporting the band, you can now get the whole album through Band Camp!
And to make it special, we are including 3 BONUS TRACKS if you buy the whole album! These tracks reflect some of our side projects and give you a little insight on our creative process. ENJOY!
