Autoharp legend Bryan Bowers featured April 14 at Brewery Arts Center
An intimate musical experience with the autoharp virtuoso Bryan Bowers will be held at the Brewery Arts Center in Carson City on Friday, April 14.
Credited with introducing the instrument to new generations of musicians, Bryan Bowers is to the autoharp what Earl Scruggs was to the five-string banjo. He’s played with The Dillards, Sam Bush, Curtis Burch, and Courtney Johnson of the ground-breaking New Grass Revival.
His remarkable autoharp virtuosity won him induction into Frets Magazine's First Gallery of the Greats, after five years of winning the stringed instrument open category of the magazine’s readers' poll. This distinction put Bowers alongside other luminaries, such as Chet Atkins, David Grisman, Stephane Grappelli, Itzhak Perlman, Tony Rice, Rob Wasserman and Mark O'Connor.
In 1993, Bryan was the first living member inducted into the Autoharp Hall of Fame. He stands with Maybelle Carter, Kilby Snow, and Sara Carter.
