Hello to all my amazing fans. I am today in Peru and feeling the amazing love from all my South American Fans. This has turned out to be an awesome experience to be on tour with Britney Spears. Her whole crew and family are wonderful people and I am bumping into some many old faces from our previous crews that have worked for BSB in the past. I saw her show the first night and she does a very entertaining show for her fans with dancers, lights and videos. We are playing stadiums down here and the fans are going crazy. I really didn’t know what to expect from my fans when I got here since this was the first time I have been down here by myself with my solo record and I can definitely say I have been overwhelmed with the amazing response so far. Right from the first day arriving in Argentina and being greeted at the airport I started this trip with smile on my face and now I have perma-grin with sore cheeks!!! Lol. The first show went of with a bang and the audience really seemed into right off the bat with my BSB tribute intro to having the fans fist pumping with my first song 100. I have a small crew of my own out with me including my security Josh, DJ LA (Lani) and Michael who is making the after parties happen. The first after party in Buenos Aires was NUTS!!!! I had a chance to take pictures and mingle with all the VIPS for some time and then perform a couple songs off my CD. From there we finished off with me behind the DJ booth with Lani. We even started playing and singing some BSB tunes with the fans as well a couple more of my own songs. The next day we were off to Chile where I was once again greeted by an amazing fan welcome at the airport. That day we hung out at the hotel pool where I saw Britney and her crew. Had a chance to catch up with her sweet mom and chat about good times from our early years starting. The next day was the show, which we decided to switch up the order of two songs and bring up a girl for me to sing Lie To Me too. Once again the audience was rockin! We are gonna see what the response is from everyone online to decide which set is best for the next couple shows. That night we had another fun after party at Club Avenue where I partied with my fans and saw the BSB tribute band as they got me up on stage with them to sing one of our songs. It’s kinda crazy to think we have tribute bands all around the world. Kinda like the movie “Rock Star” with Mark Walhberg, lol. Like I said earlier we are now in Lima, Peru where I was greeted with the biggest turn out of fans so far at the airport. It was REALLY crazy and I had to be rushed thru the airport by security. Was able to at least take the time at the bus and sign autographs for the fans thru the bus window as well took pictures with those that followed us to the hotel. Now we are off to do my favorite thing here and that’s eating some Ceviche. Can’t wait for our show tomorrow. Once again I want to not only thank Britney for having me on her tour but also my crew, management and the whole Howie D team for all your help putting this together. As well none of this would be possible with out all my amazing fans who not only bought my CD but also went out of their way to show me the best time here with airport meets, coming to the concerts and after parties as well buying all the VIP meet and greets. THANKS FOR KEEPING THE HOWIE D PRIDE ALIVE!!!! VIVA SOUTH AMERICA!!!!!! Oh and Happy Thanksgiving to my American family, friends and fans. Wish I could be there eating turkey with all of you. I'll settle for some lomo saltado and Inca Cola instead. Just know I'm thankful for each of you...life wouldn't be the same without you. Much Love
We actually have a conference call planned to discuss it. We’re going to go over the direction and the sound – just have a really cool, creative meeting to get the ball rolling. I really foresee us getting into the studio the first part of next year. The idea is to hopefully wrap it up before we go on tour with New Kids On The Block in April.
