Epsiode 101 - Spending Quality Time With Holly Bowling
We spend the morning talking with Holly Bowling this week! She took some time out of a well earned break to talk with us about how Ghost Light became a band while hanging out for the very first time, having laser focus inside the jam, being a music nerd, what it means to have some quality down time, climbing the Mt. Everest of transcribing the Tahoe Tweezer jam, and a whole bunch more!\nTexture, nuance, and a gift for dexterous high-wire improvisation are the hallmarks of San Francisco-based classically trained pianist Holly Bowling, who infuses jam band music with a technically advanced, emotionally rich style.\xa0After studying piano performance at SF State University, Bowling has turned her agile mind and interpretive prowess to the works of Phish on 2013\u2019s Distillation Of A Dream album and the Grateful Dead focused Better Left Unsung (released\xa0December 9, 2016\xa0through The Royal Potato Family).\xa0Her instantly compelling playing and unerring ability to successfully collaborate with other musicians in an impressive array of styles has brought her to the attention of Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Gov\u2019t Mule\u2019s Warren Haynes, and other luminaries who\u2019ve asked Bowling to perform with them.\xa0Already a rising star on the festival circuit, Bowling plans to continue to expand her solo touring, and recently formed a new band\xa0Ghost Light\xa0with Tom Hamilton, Steve Lyons, Raina Mullen and Scotty Zwang.\nFor more info on Holly's touring, merch, and music head over to hollybowling.com\n***THIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY THE AMAZING AND INCREDIBLE SHOP TOUR BUS & DEFYNE PREMIUM CANNABIS!!!!\nSHOP TOUR BUS:Visit shoptourbus.com or @shoptourbus on IG and pick up some wonderfully creative and beautiful Grateful Dead inspired shirts/hoodies.
