Far from Home

The Bowmans began their performance career as "singing puppeteers" in their hometown of Davenport, Iowa. Sarah and Claire's ability to harmonize was discovered at the age of three. The twins began creating their own imaginative songs immediately upon the delivery of their first tape recorder with which they cut their first album. The twins have performed together regularly since then, early becoming fixtures throughout the Midwest from coffee-shops to huge outdoor festivals. These days The Bowmans seem to be everywhere on the New York City music scene. Their sound is at once unique and prototypically American. Shades of Americana connect with characteristics of modern singer-songwriters; vaudeville blends with indie-folk; undertones of classical influences meld with loads of rock and roll edge. Though The Bowmans have worked together almost since their birth, they are beginning an enlivening new chapter to their richly musical lives.
