NEW YEAR
It’s time to celebrate! Over four years ago Bowerbird was hatched in coffee shops, at our favorite watering holes, and in our friends’ living rooms. And after who knows how many shows (we stopped counting after 200), Bowerbird is flying as high as ever. And to celebrate? We’re going to do what we always do. A great night of great music with great people.

On this night Bowebird is offering an eclectic mix. Visiting from Baltimore is THUS, featuring John Berndt and Neil Feather performing their own music on instruments they invented themselves (that’s one way to have an original voice). From NYC, Woody Sullender, one of the world’s pre-eminent experimental banjo players (yes, there’s actually more than one!), will perform a solo set. Little Ocean, Philly’s best acoustic guitar math rock duo will be coming out of retirement to play a one-show reunion tour. Drums Like Machine Guns, a local favorite, will play fresh from their trip to the sunny tropics of Miami (or maybe they got snowed out?). And Tristan Dahn, man-about-town, will make a rare appearance opening up the evening with a solo set. Wow. That’s a great show - and the whole thing is FREE!. What a way a way to start off our half-decade year! Come on by, but please, no birthday punches.
