Saturday\, August 11th\, Bryan Bowers will be in concert on Guemes Island! Having begun as a street singer in Seattle\, Bowers is now a world-renowned artist known for his instrumental virtuosity on the autoharp\, as well as his singing\, songwriting and storytelling. Bowers redefined the autoharp with his avant garde finger-picking style\, which he initially brought to bluegrass performances with The Dillards in the '70s. He's a member of the Autoharp Hall of fame alongside the great Maybelle Carter. And\, after winning the stringed instrument open category of Frets Magazine's poll five years in a row\, he became a member of their gallery of greats with other luminaries such as Chet Atkins\, Tony Rice\, Mark O'Connor\, and David Grisman. Bowers has a huge stage presence\, not because he stands six-feet-four\, but because his performance is dynamic and captivating. He's personable\, down-to-earth and engages easily with his audience. The show on August 11th will not only be Bryan's first on Guemes\, it will be a celebration of his 78th birthday! So\, come\, enjoy and share in singing a round of Happy Birthday when we cut the cake during intermission!
