Bryan Bowman is a jazz drummer, pianist, and composer in the San Francisco Bay Area. Born in Los Angeles, he was surrounded by music from an early age. His father, Robert Bowman, is a classical pianist and a Professor Emeritus of the music department at Chico State University. His mother, a psychologist by trade, plays the cello and is an avid folk dancer specializing in numerous Balkan styles. These rich and diverse influences guided his musical journey toward the study of not only the drum set and piano, but of North Indian Tabla drumming and vocal music as well. He finds a consistent source of inspiration in the folk music of Bulgaria and Macedonia.
He has performed with Eric Reed, Mary Stallings, Matt Penman, Paul McCandless, Donald “Duck” Bailey, Deron Johnson (keyboardist with Miles Davis), Leonard Thompson, Matt Clark, David Udolf, Mark Levine, Frank Martin, Larry Vuckovich, Noel Jewkes, Harvey Weinapel and many others.
Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door general admission; $15 for students with ID/low-income individuals. Children under 12 are free. Advance tickets are available here, or if the show is not sold out, you may purchase your tickets at the door before the show.
