An Evening with Bryan Bowers

Hogeye Folk Arts at Lake Street Church
Evanston, IL


January is National Bryan Bowers Month.  That is, as long as you regard Evanston as a sovereign nation, and our petition to that effect should reach you soon.

Yes, Bryan Bowers is coming to Hogeye once again. The day after he first heard an autoharp played well and in good tune, Bryan bought one.  Only one year later, he was redefining the autoharp as a folk and performance instrument and on his way to becoming a living legend in the musical idiom he loves so dearly.

Bryan has mastered a 5-finger picking technique that makes the autoharp multidimensional.  He takes this quaint instrument and his own strident voice...forges them with his charismatic personality...and creates a distinctive sound that compliments both his traditional and original material.
Widely regarded as the leading virtuoso on the autoharp, you'd be hard pressed to name another folk performer as entertaining on so many levels.  He is spontaneous, energetic, witty, and charmingly uncomfortable in his unchallenged position as the best at what he does.

It's been said of Bryan that he "generates more music from an autoharp than you can imagine from a 12-string guitar and harpsichord combined."  The good news: we don't have to find him a harpsichord.

January 14 in the parlor at Lake Street Church.  $15.
