Bryan Bowers in Concert on Guemes Island! Saturday, August 11th, Bryan Bowers will be in concert on Guemes Island! Having begun as a street singer in Seattle, Bowers is now a world-renowned artist known for his instrumental virtuosity on the autoharp, as well as his singing, songwriting and storytelling. Bowers redefined the autoharp with his avant garde finger-picking style, which he initially brought to bluegrass performances with The Dillards in the ‘70s. He’s a member of the Autoharp Hall of fame alongside the great Maybelle Carter. And, after winning the stringed instrument open category of Frets Magazine's poll five years in a row, he became a member of their gallery of greats with other luminaries such as Chet Atkins, Tony Rice, Mark O’Connor, and David Grisman. Bowers has a huge stage presence, not because he stands six-feet-four, but because his performance is dynamic and captivating. He’s personable, down-to-earth and engages easily with his audience. The show on August 11th will not only be Bryan's first on Guemes, it will be a celebration of his 78th birthday! So, come, enjoy and share in singing a round of Happy Birthday when we cut the cake during intermission! This concert will take place at the Guemes Island Community Center, 7549 Guemes Island Rd, Saturday, August 11th at 7:00 p.m. Admission is $15/person suggested donation @ the door. Refreshments and beverages will be served during intermission. For more information, contact Cheryl Mansley at 304-702-0554 or cherylmansley@gmail.com. The Community Center is less than half a mile from the ferry dock on Guemes, so it's a short ten minute walk for those who would like to walk onto the ferry to join in the fun!
