Brian Howe, who was Bad Company's lead singer from 1986-1994, played an impromptu show Thursday, Aug. 2 in Murfreesboro.

Howe and his current bandmates—Rick Brothers (drums), Paul Warren (guitar), Abe White (bass), and Chris Turnbow (lead Guitar)—played in front of an intimate crowd at Autograph Rehearsal Studio, 1400 W. College St., where they had been practicing for the past few days for their upcoming tour.

The band was in Middle Tennessee because Warren also plays guitar for Rod Stewart, who played Aug. 1-2 in Nashville.

The secret show raised $450 for two animal charities, one in Tennessee and one in Florida.
