Event Description

Victoria Folk Music Society weekly gathering: Everyone—welcome Jam 6:45pm, Open Stage 7:30pm, Feature Performer Bryan Bowers at 9pm; Norway House, 1110 Hillside Avenue, $8 cash at the door

For over six decades, Bryan Bowers has been to the autoharp what Earl Scruggs was to the five-string banjo. He presents instrumental virtuosity combined with warmth, eloquence, expression and professionalism.

As a child born and raised in Virginia, Bryan would tag along with the field workers and gandy dancers and learned to sing old call-and-answer songs. He recalls, "The music I heard while working in the fields was mesmerizing. And, I'd see the gandy dancers coming down the tracks, setting the rails, and getting their ties straight. I just thought that music was something that everyone did. It was years later that I realized what I'd been raised around.”

Bryan has a dynamic outgoing personality and an uncanny ability to enchant a crowd in practically any situation. His towering six foot four inch frame can be wild and zany on stage while playing a song like `Dixie' and five minutes later he can have the same audience singing `Will The Circle Be Unbroken' in reverence and delight.
