Steven Bowers writes songs that are as hooky as they are thoughtful, with a novelist’s grasp of the human condition, and a melody junkie’s thirst for pretty sounds. Bowers has recently completed his sixth full length album produced by Jason Mingo and JUNO award-winning producer Colin Stewart (Dan Mangan, New Pornographers, Black Mountain). His 2012 release, Beothuk Words, landed placements on TV shows such as CBC’s Heartland and in independent films such as Roaming (2013 Best Feature Film Winner, Canadian Independent Film Festival). His 2008 effort Homing received significant airplay on CBC, specialty and folk radio programs across Canada, and generated nominations for Folk Recording, Songwriter and Producer of the Year from 2008 Music Nova Scotia Awards along with a JUNO Showcase and an East Coast Music Award nomination for Folk Recording of the Year. He lives in Victoria, BC, with his wife and their daughter.

“Bowers stages his world as a spectral-spooked landscape, and imaginarium of what could be.” – B-sides & Badlands

“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
