Barry Bowers, who plays a six-string electric violin and specializes in Christian music, has
released a new album, "Think On These Things." The album has a very soothing and contemplative character, and contains unique combinations of various instruments as background accompaniment to Barry’s electric violin.
earBuzz.com says of Bowers’s album: "Barry Bowers has assembled 10 instrumental violin pieces with various accompaniment – from vibraphone to harpsichord, piano to strings – all performed by Bowers on various synthesizers. The focus here is on Bowers’ violin playing – and to that end uses an electrified instrument that can vary in tone to include the deep warm lines of a viola to the bright and articulate violin. ’Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus’ is a slow-paced and melodic journey that includes bell-like percussive chording and the timbre of an English horn. Bowers includes more contemporary pieces, but also gives respect to both classical masters, Bach and Pachelbel. The CD is a testament to Bowers’ faith and a fine representation of what he’s accomplished thus far in his music career. We look forward to more."
Bowers has played with symphony orchestras in Reno and Las Vegas, and in orchestras accompanying many prominent entertainers. He is a member of the worship team at Valley Bible Fellowship in Las Vegas, and has appeared as a guest artist in many churches in the U.S. and
Brazil. Barry and his wife, Sonja, are the U.S. representatives for Happy Child Mission, a Christian organization that ministers to street
children in Brazil. Barry’s vision is to use his music as a vehicle to bring awareness and support to these Brazilian children.
