Howie Larke

Howie Larke has been involved with the BC Country Music Association since the early 80's and was instrumental in getting Labatts involved in organizing and sponsoring the Bud Country Music Talent Search. The Talent Search became "the stepping stone" - and focus of the BCCMA - and the resulting pulicity and promotion throughout each year brought membership to an all-time high. Due to the success of the Talent Search in BC - the program was pitched to Labatts and the Canadian Country Music Association - which resulted in the Talent Search going National in scope - under the sponsorship of Budweiser. Those provinces involved held annual Talent Search programs across the country - and their finalist contestants competed at the annual CCMA awards program.

Following retirement in 1992 - through promotional contacts with Yamaha and the Merritt Mountain Music Festival - institued the guitar raffle program for the BCCMA - which provided both finnancial and publicity exposure for the Association. Howie remains very involved with the country music industry having sat on the CCMA Vancouver Bid Committee Board, and continuing his work with the BCCMA Hall of Fame Project.
