OY BOWLES
& THE FELLOWSHIP
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."

"I really wanted to compose music that the listeners could connect to- music which possessed a distinct & completely original sound, while still giving a ‘hat-nod’ to my musical heroes.”
