2008 - 2009 Concert Series

November 30, 2008: Bryan Bowers
For nearly four decades, Bryan Bowers has been to the autoharp what Earl Scruggs was to the five-string banjo. Says the Washington Post: "This man makes more music from an autoharp than you can imagine from a 12-string guitar and a harpsichord combined." People Magazine elaborates: "The leading virtuoso on the autoharp ... also has distinct gifts as a singer and a songwriter." Raised in Virginia, Bryan absorbed the music all around him, from field and railroad workers' songs to the coffeehouse scene. His creativity and talent have won him a listing in Frets magazine's Gallery of the Greats and a place in the Autoharp Hall of Fame. In concert, his unique playing style features resonant tunings and intricate fingerpicking. Combining warmth and gentle humor on stage, he can raise the roof with "Dixie," and five minutes later lead us in singing "Will The Circle Be Unbroken," with quiet reverence and delight.
