HistoryThe Duke of Norfolk is an acoustic folk musician and the artistic moniker of Adam Howard, a native of Oklahoma that started playing music in folk-rock jam bands as a drummer, and by performing at coffeehouses and colleges.{{sfn|NoiseTrade Staff|2013}}{{sfn|The Portland Mercury Staff|2018}} Since 2007, Howard has been writing music, citing influence from Tunng, Sufjan Stevens and Radical Face.{{sfn|Jacques|2015}} His first release, a piano-driven album Shadows and Shapes was in 2009 under Adam Howard. In 2010. he began using the name the Duke of Norfolk, and in 2011, he released an EP entitled The Lazy Sunshine.{{sfn|The Music Court Staff|2014}} Amy Jaques of Relix describes his sound as "Irish and American folk, but also heavy [in] percussion, electronica, orchestral music and blues," and his songwriting draws comparison to Belle & Sebastian and Justin Vernon.{{sfn|Jacques|2015}}{{sfn|Frahm|2018}} Mint 400 RecordsIn 2013, the Duke of Norfolk signed with Mint 400 Records and released the five-song EP Le Monde Tourne Toujours. In 2014, he played at the South by Southwest festival, and released his debut album Birds... Fly South!.{{sfn|Farmer|2014}} The six-song EP Three Days From The Wolf Month released in 2015, while Howard was attending the University of Edinburgh.{{sfn|Jacques|2015}} He performed at the North Jersey Indie Rock Festival on 23 September 2017.{{sfn|New Jersey Racket Staff|2017}} Attendre et Espérer, the second full length by the Duke of Norfolk was released in 2018, and features clarinet, cello, viola and violin.{{sfn|Walker|2018}} Howard explains the album as "a collage of ideas and influences converging on the theme of grief but it's a bit of a hot take on the subject. I don't think I really intended it to be so, but it ended as a linear story of the first three months of grief with, sort of, dreamlike transitions–flitting from thought to thought." The third track of the album "Shema" is described by Jonathon Frahm of PopMatters as a "jangly indie folk number, [that] belays an infectious, rootsy arrangement about its listeners as it pulls them further into a story that hinges itself on Howard's own reflections on grief. It's framed from multiple angles, taking us on a three-month journey into these observations as the Duke of Norfolk ruminates on both personal and widespread losses."{{sfn|Frahm|2018}} Additional workThe Duke of Norfolk has appeared on several Mint 400 Records compilations. The song "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" appears on A Very Merry Christmas, and features banjo and beatboxing.{{sfn|Carradini|2012}} He contributed "singer/songwriter-esque" versions of "Wouldn't It Be Nice," "Pet Sounds" and "Caroline, No" for Mint 400 Records Presents the Beach Boys Pet Sounds.{{sfn|Carradini|2013}} For At the Movies, the Duke of Norfolk does a rendition of "The Sound of Silence" that Paul Silver of Jersey Beat describes as "start[ing] out seeming[ly] close to the original, but after the first verse, when the banjo comes in, and then bowed bass, you know [it] is something special."{{sfn|Silver|2018}} Discography
