About Tad Howley

I studied music education at Towson University, and through that I've become proficient at all the standard band and orchestra instruments. I also play a variety of folk instruments, such as the harp, bodhran, and ocarina, and sing in a barbershop quartet called Player 4.

Outside of Music and Arts, you can usually find me with the Baltimore Gamer Symphony Orchestra, a community group that focuses on performing videogame music. I've been with the orchestra for four years, and have been the primary conductor since March of 2016. I also sing with an Irish folk group called Watling Street, and am a founding member of Ocabanda, the United States Ocarina Ensemble, which regularly performs across the country.

I'm always happy to chat about anything and everything musical! Hope to see you in my store sometime!
