Howard “Howe” Gelb (born October 22, 1956, in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania)[1] is an American singer-songwriter, musician and record producer based in Tucson, Arizona.

[2] Gelb's approach to music is collaborative and he has recorded with a number of side projects.

In a 2004 interview with Gelb, The Guardian wrote "Gelb's way of dealing with it was to treat Giant Sand (not to be confused with his 1970s electro-rock band Giant Sandworms) as a loose, uncompetitive, mutually supportive musical collective, a place for friends to hang out and play.

'"[3] In 2013, he worked with the Scottish singer/songwriter KT Tunstall on her fourth studio album Invisible Empire // Crescent Moon.

[4] His own solo album entitled The Coincidentalist was released on New West Records in November 2013.
