About this episode

Howie Dorough discusses his career with the Backstreet Boys and his new Latin solo project.

For the first time ever, BSB founding member Howie Dorough sits with the gang to talk Backstreet Boys, the record-breaking Sphere Las Vegas residency, and his brand new Latin solo project. Our "criminally underrated" heartthrob shares the truth behind his role in the group's iconic sound, BTS of the Sphere show (including Brian's fear of heights and the infamous ballet bar), why the residency almost didn't happen, and how a nine-date run exploded into 21 shows. Plus: Howie reveals the deeply personal roots of his new Spanish-language passion project celebrating his Puerto Rican heritage, the story behind his first original single "Coqui" and how his 92-year-old mother inspired it all. He also gets played in a hilarious game of "Which Backstreet Boy Would You Call?" We have summer deals for YOU! Boll & Branch : Need new sheets?
