About Me

aB or Andy Bowen, "comic book kid, *ucking crazy, totally friendly, kinda skinny but like super hot, and peach packing Rambo", are just a few names some may refer to him as. Performing with rock bands exploring hip-hop, reggae, jazz, humor, and pulling well crafted words from his guts, he has indeed found a “swing set” in the mind of every listener. Feeding off a relation of feeling and sound from people like Slug/atmosphere, Tribe called quest, cake, daft punk, Outkast,Toto and Aesop rock its safe to say his music has a very wide range. I feel like a Starbucks cup saying this but the way I see it, this world is desperate for the next best thing and we are rapidly losing touch with who we are as an individual. Clever and playful aB has a way of elevating one’s mind out of the swamp of everyday spoon fed life. During a news interview he said “I can’t believe how many of our teachers told us we cant do something. I mean anything from reading to being a famous painter. My music is a way to fight back, fend off some of the stereotypical induced reality, it’s like a buddy of mine says, we are stimulated, self medicated and way too caffeinated”. aB is more than just a face on a CD, he is a poet, a strong writer, an innovator, a teacher and most of all, a very real person. Spending most of his pre teen childhood in small town Palisade CO, he has an old fashion home grown personality herd in lines like “my sounds a good friend that comes to revisit”. Most would agree, he has and always will remain an intelligent rebel of society and well expressed in rhymes like “when’s the princess kiss the toad, turn glitter to gold the fairy tells are starting to grow some mold”. Only once asking for money in the ridiculous amount mix tapes handed out, aB proves, he is making music for reasons beyond fame and popularity. With over 400 songs to date and never slowing down or becoming sidetracked aB is a master of focus and expression, and has promised “yes, it is very good, but the beauty of making music is, it will always get better”.One planet, one people, one love "Humans, we think we're so BIG, its like we're born with an ego and learn to hate as a kid" (from the song "clockwork")..
