Howard Livingston
and The Mile Marker 24 Band

Howard Livingston Instruments: Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, and Baritone Guitar Howard is a native of the mountains of eastern Kentucky. His mother spawned his love for music by introducing him to the guitar at age five. While the love of music never did leave him, his career pushed him in a different direction. While building his business, he traveled to the Florida Keys, where he developed a severe case of “Keys Fever” He never wanted to leave. The more he visited, the more music, and the keys called out to him. Finally, he surrendered. The islands called both he and his guitar. He teamed upo with this group of talented musicians and Mile Marker 24 was born and the island music goes on and on. Jason Miller Instruments: Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, and Baritone Guitar Since I started playing guitar at age 12, I have always wanted to be a professional musician. After joining Mile Marker 24 in October 2005 I began travelling back and forth from Indiana to the Keys. I fell in love with the Keys and the whole lifestyle. Needless to say I finally traded in my snow angels for sand castles and my wife, Jamie, and I moved on down. Dave Herzog Instruments: Percussion, Steel Drums, Vocals After saying goodbye to the cold winters of Minnesota, my wife, Barb, and I bought a sailboat and cruised the coasts of Florida. I played steel drums in many of the tiki bars along the way, 'til we reached the end of the road in Key West. We thought we'd stay for a few months and that was nearly eight years ago! During those eight years I headed north during the summers to the Lakes Area of Minnesota where I played steel drums with the band "Island Time". That all changed when I first heard "Howard Livingston & the Mile Marker 24 band" in the Florida Keys. I realized that playing and touring with Mile Marker 24 would be a dream come true. Now, as a member of the "Mile Marker 24 Band", I'm looking forward to playing the best venues in the Florida Keys and hitting some of the hot spots in our northern summer tours! Hope to catch you along the way!! Hulber Gagliardini Instruments: Trumpet Hulber Gagliardini is a graduate of Marathon High of the Florida Keys. After receiving his bachelor of Music Education, he received his Masters in trumpet performance from Northwestern University. Since then he has traveled the world reaching all seven continents, serving as a musical director for both Princess and Cunard Cruise Lines. Hulber is now back home in the Keys as a part of the Mile Marker 24 family, teaching, and living la vida loca. Leigh Maples Instruments: Bass Now living in Nashville, TN, Leigh's playing began on the World's Most Beautiful Beaches in her hometown, Panama City Fl. After 2 years attending Gulf Coast Community College as a music major, Leigh moved to Nashville where she attended Belmont College as a Music Business Major. Leigh has toured and recorded with many but counts Dianne Davidson and Charles Neville as 2 of her favorites. It was while working with these artists she played the great jazz festivals and memorable places from Carnegie Hall in New York to The Old Filmore in San Francisco. While these were wonderful experiences....... it's hard to beat flip flops, sand between your toes, and some of the nicest, laid back people you've ever met......Howard and Mile Marker 24! Bobbie My name is Bobbie and I am a ten year old Umbrella Cockatoo. I' m also Howard Livingston & MM24's 'MASCOT'. I'm always there when Howard plays in the Keys and he always introduces me to the crowd (when the owners of the places he plays will let me in). Dancing and singing for Howie is one of my favorite things to do. I love to go see Howard and get so excited!!!! He's the BEST!!!! So are all the band members. When he's gone, it's really hard for me cause I miss him!! If he would adopt me, I would travel with him... it would be SO MUCH FUN!!!! I'm always good besides, if I'm not I can always 'Blame it on the Margaritas' :) :)
