Bryan Bowers Returns

House About Tonight Productions proudly welcomes back to Fredericksburg a real favorite: Master Autoharpist/Singer/Songwriter/Storyteller/Performance Artist Bryan Bowers. A simple description of Bryan's work would be songs, stories, and strings.

The show is on Friday, October 14 at the Athenaeum (formerly known as The Wounded Bookstore) at 109 Amelia Street in downtown Fredericksburg. Doors are at 7pm and the concert starts at 8pm.

Donation: $15 per person (taken at the door)

Beverages and light snacks will be served at intermission.


Now, about Bryan:

From his rather unglamorous beginning as a street singer, Bryan has become a major artist on the traditional music circuit. He has redefined the autoharp and is also well known as a singer-songwriter. Bryan has a dynamic outgoing personality and an uncanny ability to enchant a crowd in practically any situation. His towering six-foot-four-inch frame can be wild and zany on stage while playing a song like "Dixie," and five minutes later later, he can have the same audience singing "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" in quiet reverence and delight. We guarantee that you will come away from his performance absolutely mesmerized with his talent and message.

“To call Bryan Bowers’ performance simply a ‘concert’ would be inadequate if not inaccurate … (it) could better be described as an experience!”
-Deseret News

“Bowers is widely regarded as the leading virtuoso on the autoharp… Bowers also has distinct gifts as a singer and songwriter.”
-People Magazine

“…This man makes more music from an Autoharp than you can imagine from a 12-string guitar and a harpsichord combined. He has more stage presence and charisma than any stage performer in recent memory.”
-The Washington Times

My own personal experience with Bryan is that he seems to call when I need to hear from him most; earlier in the spring when we were talking about this show, he asked if he could "bend my ear" a while. He did, and I ended up in tears; sweet tears that were so needed for many reasons. The story was wonderful and I hope he will present it to you, too. So bring a handkerchief along with you to this event; you really don't want to miss it!


Reservations are not required, but there is limited seating (about 50), so please arrive on time so that you don't have to stand or miss the show!
