Howard Gripp is a Wisconsin-based singer-songwriter whose music blends Americana, Heartland Rock, and Roots Rock with heartfelt storytelling and a message of hope, redemption, and second chances.
Drawing inspiration from artists such as Bryan Adams, John Mellencamp, Zach Williams, and Mac Powell, Howard combines guitar-driven arrangements, powerful vocals, and memorable melodies to create music that connects with listeners across genres.
After years immersed in the rock music scene, a personal journey of faith led Howard toward a new direction in his life and songwriting. His songs reflect real experiences, struggles, personal transformation, and the belief that no matter where you've been, your past doesn't have to define your future.
His growing catalog includes “Hello It's Me,” “Welcome To Your Life,” and “I'm Not My Yesterday,” songs that explore resilience, renewal, and finding the strength to move forward. His latest single, “When I Was A Kid,” reflects on childhood memories and the lasting influence of his mother's faith, honoring the foundation she helped build in his life.
As a live performer, Howard delivers an engaging mix of energetic originals and intimate storytelling, performing primarily as a solo artist with acoustic guitar and professionally produced backing tracks. His performances bring together the authenticity of Americana and the driving spirit of Heartland Rock.
Whether performing at festivals, churches, listening rooms, or community events, Howard strives to create a genuine connection with his audience through music that encourages, inspires, and reminds people that change is always possible.
His mission is simple: **Spreading God's Word One Song at a Time.**

Forever secure and healed within

I have been rescued, redeemed, and forgiven

Broken the power of all my shame

Rescued, redeemed, and forgiven
You have saved my soul, and I am free

Verse:
I used to think that I controlled my life
But time and time again, cut deep like a knife
I lived some lies, I played some games
Until You called me out and broke my chains
Broke my chains
Pre-Chorus:
I’m not who I was, I am not the same
You pulled me up and changed my ways
Chorus:
I’m not my yesterday
Grace has washed my past away
I live with hope I stand with truth brand new
I’m not my yesterday with You
Verse:
Now I have hope and strength I never knew
Surrendering it all, keeping my eyes on You
The past is done, the grave is closed
The life I live is Yours, and Yours alone
It’s Yours alone
Pre-Chorus:
I’m not who I was, I am not the same
You pulled me up and changed my ways
Chorus:
I’m not my yesterday
Grace has washed my past away
I live with hope I stand with truth brand new
I’m not my yesterday
Mercy wrote a brand new me
I live in love, I stand in faith, it’s true
I’m not my yesterday with You
Bridge:
You rewrote my story, gave me a new way
Let my life show how I’ve changed
I’m not my yesterday
Chorus:
I’m not my yesterday
Grace has washed my past away
I live with hope I stand with truth brand new
I’m not my yesterday
Mercy wrote a brand new me

I’m not my yesterday with You

Verse:
As I stand, out on the ocean’s edge
With the breeze rushing through my head
And the waves crash down making everything so clear
He can change, everything that’s in the way
Of a life that’s gone astray
And His voice calls out so everyone can hear
Chorus:
Welcome to your life
Everything here’s fine
When the road gets rough
He’s right there by your side
It will be alright
Through every storm He’ll lead you back
Welcome to your life
Welcome to your life
Verse:
Not alone, every step he walks beside
Showing love He’ll always guide
On the road he defined, He will lead you home
See your past, like footprints in the sand
Slowly fade as the tide rolls in
Every sin erased and that’s where it begins
Chorus:
Welcome to your life
Everything here’s fine
When the road gets rough
He’s right there by your side
It will be alright
Through every storm He’ll lead you back
Welcome to your life
Welcome to your life
Break
Welcome to your life
Solo
Outro:
Welcome to your life
Everything here’s fine
Welcome to your life
