Hear Some Bowen Covers Live on youtube!--------------------------------------- Doug Bowen- Guitar and Vocals------------------------------------------------------ --------------- Doug has been called a prolific songwriter and a guitar virtuoso. He has played with some of the most "outstanding" musicians, and has been heard on numberous radio stations. He write music for himself and others as well as produces in his studio in the "Detroit, Mi." area. He has also performed at some amazing venues in the area. He is curently working with his sister Amy Bowen (Vocals, Drums), Emil Ditrapani (keyboards) and Steve Phelps (Bass) on new material. The band "Bowen" has become a free form entity allowing many musicians to play along or persue other projects. He currently performs "live" when an oppurtunity that seems "fun" presents itself and his greatest objective is to work with publishing companies and to get his music heard by as many people as possible. ///--------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------Amy Bowen- Drums and Vocals------ At the age of 17 years old, she has the dynamic presence and soulful delivery of a mature and passionate performer. Raised in a somewhat rural setting in Michigan, Amy started showing musical promise at an early age. As a child she started playing the drums, performing occasionally at town gatherings. Her age showed no indication of her advanced sense of timing and rhythm that astonished the adult musicians that surrounded her. Soon after, she started growing as a powerful and talented vocalist. With unbridled ambition, she pursued her dream of releasing her first solo album "Another Lonely Night" in March of 2005. She has also shown promise as a talented actress, and dance choreographer. She has also recently returned to the drum set, keeping the beat and singing on current "Bowen" recordings. Regardless of artistic outlet, Amy Bowen holds herself and others to a standard of greatness unmatched by most performers. ///--------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- Emil Ditrapani- Keyboards and Piano---------------------------------------- Born on May 31, 1979. One of Emil's first memories was going to a Billy Joel concert at the age of 5. It was at that moment that he realized that he wanted to play the keyboard....and so it began. Emil was enrolled into some summer music classes and began to study classical music until the age of 16. Within that time period, when he was 12, he met Doug Bowen. They became great friends and musical counterparts. Doug and Emil seemed to have a pattern of writing quality songs. Emil has a talent for writing complicated chord and melody changes and give them to Doug. He would then, within a week, come back with the finished song including his personal lyrics. This pattern has continued through out the years. It just seems natural.///------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- ------------------Steve Phelps-Bass guitar and Vocals -------------------------------------------- www.myspace.com/quellemusic ----------------------- Steve has been playing music for 7 years in bands such as "Midnight Dream" and "Ruins of Eden". He has attended "The Recording Institute of Detroit" and has over five years of live sound experience, including mixing a live performance for a Guatemalan radio broadcast. Steve is mostly influenced by people like "Bono (U2)" who use their music and celebrity status to bring attention to important causes. To hear more of Steve's music, log on to the "Quelle" collection on Myspace. Hear his original compositions; he sang, produced and performed all the instramentation.www.myspace.com/quellemusic*********To Hear "Quelle" (The Music of Steve Phelps)- Just click on the letter "Q"***** ..
