Howard Livingston and Mile Marker 24

Although Livingston lives in the tropics, he was raised in the heartland. Born in the coal mining region of Kentucky and raised in Marion, IN, he first took up guitar at age six. He spent his teenage years playing in a band called The Juveniles absorbing a variety of influences, from the Beatles and the Stones to Elvis, Hank Williams, Bob Marley and MuddyWaters. Once he reached the age of 18 he put music on the back burner and turned his attention to earning a more reliable living.
