Don Howland is an American underground musician best known for his work in the punk-blues duo the Bassholes beginning in 1992. Prior to the Bassholes, Howland played guitar and sang with the Gibson Brothers, a Columbus, Ohio-based demented roots rock band that included Monsieur Jeffrey Evans, Dan Dow, Ellen Hoover, and later Jon Spencer and Rich Lillash. Lillash, Lamont "Bim" Thomas and James Owen have all drummed with the Bassholes in recent years. Howland also was a member of the Asheville, NC-based band Wooden Tit. Howland participated in the Ego Summit project in 1997, which brought together longtime Columbus underground performers including Jim Shepard and Mike Rep, Tommy Jay and Ron House. He has recorded for many independent labels including Matador, In the Red, Sympathy for the Record Industry, Hate Records, Dead Canary, Revenant, Siltbreeze, Columbus Discount Records, and 12XU. Since 1988 Howland has lived in Asheville, N.C., where he hosts a 20th century classical music radio show on WSFM-LP, a volunteer-run community station.Discography
