Four score and seven years ago or so, bluegrass, jazz and folk were all gestating in the womb of the southeast US, joining and splitting, creating original American music. Katy Bowsers music is a small reenactment this phenomenon: Katy grew up on jazz, moved to Nashville, messed around with a lot of music, and found her foil in a boy brought up on bluegrass. Thus we have her brand new EP, All Of My Friends.Since Katy and Kenny crossed paths, its no surprise that the songs Katy sings began to turn a new set of heads in Nashville. Their high energy, playful performance is one obvious reason- no two shows are alike, and oftentimes a Katy show will suddenly take a turn down memory lane toward one of the many old jazz or country tunes they love, for kicks. But in a town that reveres its history and respects innovation, Katys singing and Kennys virtuosity on guitar, mandolin, pedal steel, lap steel and most other things with strings have garnered respect and high praise from their peers. Their songs about the golden rule, traveling, overprotective girlfriends, gospel, and forward woman are delighting afficionados and everyday music lovers across the board.This record is equal parts front porch, creaky swing, and homemade lemonade, served up in a martini glass...the perfect blend of roots music and dancehall swing.â€
