Melodies designed to tug on the heartstrings and reset the pace of your nervous system.” Divide and Conquer “Bowers stages his world as a spectral-spooked landscape, and imaginarium of what could be.” B-sides & Badlands “Poetically brilliant…one of the best songs we’ve heard all year.” - Rock the Pigeon “His music combines the storytelling tradition of writers like Jason Isbell with a larger than life, cinematic kind of spirit…equally perfect for the climactic ending to an indie film or for listening while staring at the rain out your bedroom window.” - Notasound.org ** Born and raised in Newfoundland, Canada, Steven Bowers is currently in production for his next full length studio album due for release later this year.
