The Bowmans’s Bio

Hailing from Davenport Iowa, now based in Brooklyn, The Bowmans have become part of the scene in Brooklyn and the lower east side of Manhattan.

Sarah, who also plays in Rasputina, has been a fixture in the anti-folk world as a soloist artist and guest cellist.

The band combines Sarah's lyrics and vocals, Claire's harmonies, Sarah's cello and guitar with Claire's fiddle. The harmonies sound as one astonishing voice. Sarah and Claire share the rare, almost telepathic bond common to twins; indeed, they are clearly on the same musical page.

Vaudeville blends with indie-folk; undertones of classical influences meld with rock and roll edge.

Their current release, Far From Home, was released on Mother West in the US in 2007 and on Rounder Europe. 4 tracks from the album went into rotation in 10,000 + Starbucks stores.

The Bowmans were invited to do a Paste Magazine-sponsored cruise in 2008 with Lyle Lovett, Patty Griffin and Emmylou Harris.

They have shared the stage with The Avett Brothers and Nickel Creek's Chris Thile. Jim Lauderdale and David Rawlings are fans.

"Sister act the Bowmans create their own little oasis of beauty and tranquility... It's beyond lovely how their voices quiver together on 'Williamsburg Bridge' and the austere title track, and the way a delicate, extended note soars marvelously through the break in the aptly titled 'Make It Last.' " --LA Weekly
