SEEKING
Vocalist, Vocalist - Tenor, Lead Guitar, Background Singer.ABOUT
After 11 years with Ventura Highway Revisited (VHR), COVID pretty much closed everything down. It has been almost 4 years of no music, and now I’m curious to see if there’s interest in doing music from Toto, Steely Dan - that sort of thing.
I guess the other thing I should add - I design and sell a synthesizer, called the Solaris. I’ve been involved with synths since 1973, when I worked for Moog, as well as a major involvement with the Prophet 5 development and all of the original Sequential Circuits products. You can see my About page at johnbowen.com for more info.

This is playing the Sadowsky fretless you see in my photo. Just a little bass lick to give an idea of the tone, etc.
