Release Notes:
Launched in the mid 1980s on a state-of-the-art, fancy, high-tech, cutting edge
lecture tape recorder their father soon after regretted loaning them, The
Bowmans smoldering debut album, "Chicks and Families Radio Rocks" was cut! This
trademark stuffed animal community effort formed an astronomical compilation of
unforgettable hits by big time recording artists Snot the Pig and Little Bear
Second Brain.
The Bowmans have performed together consistently since then. And now, after a
recording hiatus of 21 years, The Bowmans are back on tracks. The stuffed animal
superstars' influence is more subdued these days, yet The Porker Song has
subsisted, appearing on The Bowmans' debut people-made album, "Far From Home,"
which is a top seller on New York's antifolk.net and has received positive
acclaim from national music blogs, international papers, daily papers across the
nation, and in New York press. The Bowmans' music has been aired on NPR's All
Songs Considered, and various radio stations worldwide.
On the new album, Sarah Bowman's lyrics and vocals range from reminiscently
droll to poignantly sublime. Together, the twins' harmonies are uncanny, seeming
to come simultaneously from one astonishing voice. Sarah and Claire share the
rare, intuitive bond common to twins who have performed together since
childhood, and because of this they are clearly always on the same musical page.
2006 was a big touring year for The Bowmans, both nationally and
internationally. The Bowmans toured nationally in January and May, and again in
July as tour support for Rasputina. (Sarah Bowman is also the second cellist in
Rasputina.) They toured nationally again in September and October, then on to
the UK, Switzerland, Germany, The Netherlands, and France in November and
December.
