Rick
J Bowen a drummer, vocalist, songwriter, guitarist, living
in Everett, Washington. He grew up in Kalamazoo, Michigan,
coming up playing in school band, choir and show bands, taking
his first lessons from Norm Walker, who was a graduate of
North Texas State. While At Western Michigan University Rick
was able to spend two years in the rhythm section of Gold
Company, a top college vocal jazz ensemble. After college
Rick played in various rock and blues bands until he landed
in Soul Syndicate, a blues/rock outfit who won the chance
to open for Bad Company after taking first in WLAV’s
“Baddest” band competition. Soul Syndicate went
on to open for The Storm and Common Ground, and do club tours
of the Midwest and east coast.
Moving to the Northwest eight years ago, Rick soon found
the Seattle group Two A.M., a pop/rock group featuring a
powerful vocal duo. This group enjoyed cruising the clubs
of the NW and releasing a self produced CD in 1997.
Since leaving TWO A.M Rick has landed gigs and sessions
with many diverse northwest artists: singer/songwriter types
Melanie Fernandi , Mary Lydia Ryan, and Chris Stanley; show
bands Moxie and Hettel Street Blues and HiWATT; the avant
jazz with spoken word ensemble Liquid Voodoo featuring Jeffrey
Beals of Junior Cadillac and as auxiliary percussionist
for fusion band The Combustion Collective, and Blues Metal
with Johnny Devol’s Stonebender.
Rick has also been teaching private lessons and group
percussion classes for over fifteen years and volunteers
in his daughters cooperative elementary school.
Always
playing for the song and striving to be the backbone of
the rhythm section has allowed Rick to flex his chops in
a variety of genres.
