 is a band that fuses the roots of blues with the spontaneity

of jazz with twinges of gospel, country & rock.

“The idea behind The Fellowship is a rotating swirl of musicians playing together under one common goal- play your heart out & get down with the get down. I wrote & arranged tunes in a way in which the listener could appreciate the songs for the melody & lyrics but still have sections where the music was highly improvisational & could change on a nightly basis."

- Coy Bowles
