Tom Howard was a pianist, musical arranger, and orchestral conductor. In 1983, he helped the rock band Daniel Amos form the Alarma! Records label.
Well-known string arranger for many artists, Tom began his career in 1977 with an album on Larry Norman's Solid Rock record label. He got a meeting with Larry in 1975 thinking it would be a 45-minute pitch. After 5 or 6 hours, Norman invited him up to his office to play a few songs and then signed Tom on the spot.
After his first rock album, he came into his forte with his mid-80s solo piano albums, Harvest and Solo Piano. He also began transitioning into more behind-the-scenes work doing arranging and for other artists, and in the 90's Tom wrote string arrangements for a veritable who's-who of Christian music, appearing on projects by Bob Carlisle, Phil Keaggy, Sheila Walsh, Dolly Parton, and more. In an interview with the website Cross Rhythms, he shared, "name a Christian artist and I've probably worked with them."
Tom Howard passed away on January 29, 2010, of a heart attack while hiking in a park in Nashville. He was 59.
