Bowman House Concert Series

About Me

The Bowman House Concert Series hosts high-quality nationally touring singer-songwriters. Founded in 2004, we are metro Atlanta's longest running, most successful house concert series. We limit our house concerts to no more than eight per year, often enough to be anticipated but not so often that attendees think they can skip one because there's another the following week.Our home sits about 40, and there's an SRO area. All donations at the door, and of course all merchandise sales, go to the artist. We guarantee our best efforts in promotion, staging, etc. for a successful event. On occasion, we can move our house concert to a larger venue if an artist proves so popular that attendance exceeds our den. Ultimately, it's all about the performer. We believe that our audience knows when performers are having fun -- and when they're not. We promise an excellent experience for musician and audience alike.Our series has been featured in both the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and in the Gwinnett (Ga.) Daily Post. We also have a great relationship with Eddie's Attic, the best commercial listening room in metro Atlanta, and with WRFG-FM, which features our musicians on the radio show 'Spam & Grits'.
