The Bowmans

With harmonies that seem to come from one astonishing voice, The Bowmans share a rare, near telepathic musical bond. The touring twins are a Brooklyn based "roller coaster" duo, ranging from poignantly captivating to serendipitously joyful. Their music is concurrently sophisticated and imaginative, blending together the preserved vulnerability and abandoned glee of their Iowa childhood. The Bowmans deeply move and delight their audience world wide with uncanny, evocative, and unforgettable performances. Albums: Empty Houses (Sarah Solo) 2011, The Bowmans, Live at Powerplay Studios 2010, The Bowmans (produced by Malcolm Burn) 2009, Far From Home 2006

"[I've] been wanting to get The Bowmans in studio for a long time since hearing their first album, Far from Home… "
- Bob Harris, BBC 2 Whispering Bob Harris Show (May 16, 2009)
"…Their music resonates with a distinctive personality all its own…their gentle demeanor finds them wistful and whimsical. It's a sound that brings the Roches to mind … but only when those Roche siblings reveal their more sobering side. "
- Mare Wakefield, Performing Songwriter



" The Bowmans reveal an enchanting blend of voices. Clearly there are no boundaries that keep the Bowmans fenced in as they find themselves "On the Road," a pastoral slice of Jesse Sykes-style rustic pop where they discover (but don't care) that "the road may take a toll on you."
- Steve Appleford, LA Weekly (Jan 30, 2008)



"The harmonies are indeed stunning… the choral purity of their voices lends a hymn like quality to the songs…the strength of the material and those amazing voices. has ensured The Bowmans have a growing following on the New York folk scene."
- J. Alder, Americana UK



"GorillavsBear.net I'm a total sucker for Eisley-esque harmonies, the kind where you can't tell where one voice ends and the other begins, and The Bowmans have the gift."
- Chris Cantalini, Gorilla vs. Bear/ Done Waiting



"… a knack for songwriting that still hasn't managed to lose its sense of imagination. if their music can stay this sweet in a city this tough, or this authentic in a world so quick to adapt and discard the latest fad, they'll never have left that Iowa hill behind. "
- Christin Roman, The Deli Magazine



" In short, The Bowmans are the best vocal duet to grace the Jezebel Music Songwriter Showcase. Sarah Bowman's lyrics are deceptively mysterious. the listener catches one level of the meaning to later find the dark twist of the story. "
- Gabriel Levitt, Jezebel Music



" … accessible on first listen and keeps resonating pleasantly. "
- Robert Pally, Swiss Records
