Make Music Philly Spotlight: Heyward Howkins
This Friday, hundreds of events will occur all over the city for Make Music Philly, with countless artists from the area and countless genres represented – how do you figure out who to see? That’s where we come into the picture. To help you narrow down your choices, we’ll be bringing you Make Music Philly spotlights all week.
One artist you should not miss this Friday is Heyward Howkins.
