Concert with Bryan Bowers

Concert with Bryan Bowers on Sunday, April 27, 2025 at 3:00 pm at the Glen Echo Town Hall, 6106 Harvard Avenue, Glen Echo, MD 20812

Bryan Bowers is the master of the Autoharp. An amateur may look at the autoharp, once described as a "zither with an automatic transmission," and think of it as a simple chording device, but in Bryan Bowers' capable hands, the instrument rings with complex counterpoint and an almost infinite range of tonal variations and expression.

Bryan brings an encyclopedic repertoire of gospel songs and hymn tunes, an immense batch of traditional songs, and a collection of heartfelt songs written by the best troubadors of the day (and some by himself).

At Bryan's we are going to do this concert at Glen Echo Town Hall, unamplified, with its perfect acoustics.

Suggested donation: $25. For more info: chbaum@earthlink.net or 301-587-2286

If you are arriving by car, please note that, for the benefit of Glen Echo residents, the mayor of Glen Echo has requested that attendees not park on residential streets. She has suggested several alternatives, including the Bannockburn neighborhood directly across MacArthur Blvd. from the Town Hall and the Glen Echo Park parking lot. 

"To call Bryan Bowers' performance simply a 'concert' would be inadequate if not inaccurate ... (it) could better be described as an experience!"
