LESLIE BOWE

Introducing Award-Winning Singer/Songwriter Leslie Bowe



Award-winning recording artist Leslie Bowe’s debut single "Hallelujah"

will be released to Hot AC national radio June 2008. He has opened for

Maxi Priest, Third World, The Wailers, UB 40 and, most recently, Patty

Griffin.

Leslie was the Grand Prize Winner of the 2008 Tunesmith Songwriting

Contest in Nashville and the Grand Prize Winner of the Stagenoise 2007

International Songwriting Contest. He was also the 2008 Second Place

Winner in the Song of Peace Songwriting Competition for the Tipperary

Peace Convention.

A Pittsburgh Native, Leslie was a regular at the local clubs. "I loved

playing at the Shadow Lounge in Pittsburgh because they respect and

support the music and the artist. The vibe is the same whether you’re an

unknown independent or known major act. It’s all about the music at the

Shadow Lounge."

Bowe’s fans in Pittsburgh, where he started and is still a big favorite,

are no strangers to his soulful style. Since relocating to Chicago, a

whole new audience is regularly astounded at the energy and insight he

brings to the stage. He is having the same impact at shows in front of new

fans in Philadelphia, New York, and Nashville.

As a child, he was drawn to the music his father and uncles - members of a

group that sang acapella gospel and Sixties music. When they realized he

could handle both melody and harmony with equal ease, he became part of

the group. His influences include Elton John, Billy Joel, Sam Cooke,

Marvin Gaye, Bob Marley, Bunny Ruggs, Third World and Seal.

Bowe produced two previous albums, "Gypsy" and "Through My Eyes", both of

which are available on CD Baby. His new album, "Color of Sound" includes

the tracks "Hallelujah" and the title song "Color of Sound" with lyrics

that give us a clue about what really drives Leslie Bowe. "This is how I

feel", he sings in the refrain to a driving, heart felt, message driven

neo-soul flavor, "I’m crying from the bottom of my heart, something real –

you cannot conceal… the Color of Sound." It’s a message that resonates with all of his fans.



Fresh. Authentic. Soulful.
