About

Bowers is an acknowledged master of the autoharp, a multistringed folk instrument that's usually strummed. He plays in an intricate, five-finger picking style of his own invention which allows him to simultaneously play a melody while strumming chords. He's adapted many fiddle songs and Traditional Folk songs to the instrument, and is in high demand at folk and Bluegrass festivals.
