One of the rising stars of the San Francisco music scene,
singer/songwriter and producer J Bowman began his music career in
Chicago. After relocating to the Bay Area to record with Sandy Pearlman
(The Clash, Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult), the guitar virtuoso was
quickly recognized for his ability to adapt his style to a number of
genres, from rock to funk to hip hop to house. Soon he was in the
studio with George Clinton, Pink, Chris Isaak, Sly & Robbie, 2Pac,
Scott Hardkiss, The Hieroglyphics, Fatboy Slim, Melle Mel, Paula Cole,
Cake, Souls Of Mischief, Aceyalone, Miguel Migs and the list goes on.
Bowman is also production partner to Michael Franti (Spearhead),
performing on the road and collaborating in the studio. When not
touring the world, he’s found time to produce a number of indie San
Francisco acts, including dance-punk girrls Von Iva, blues rock
songstress LZ Love and his own side project Frequency 3, which mixes
rock songwriting with dancefloor beats.
J Bowman is currently working on his self-titled solo debut album. His
live shows are a high-energy explosion of rock and roll, but you may
still find him playing guitar with a DJ or two around S.F. if you‚are
lucky.
