A Creative Partnership with Shari Rowe
Bowman’s work is not a solitary venture. His longtime friendship and collaboration with Shari Rowe, a celebrated singer-songwriter in her own right, has been instrumental in shaping his debut material.
As both a co-writer and a literal voice on the tracks, Rowe’s presence adds depth, warmth, and harmony to Bowman’s stories. Together, they weave songs that feel layered with memory, truth, and soul.
Every once in a while, a debut artist arrives with a sound that feels both familiar and refreshingly original. Bowman, the new project from musician and producer Steven Bowman of Loser’s Way Home, is exactly that. Grounded in the rich roots music of Tennessee and shaped by the adventurous years he spent in Arizona, Bowman’s songs carry the weight of lived experience and the intimacy of personal storytelling.
This isn’t just music—it’s a journey through identity, belonging, and the deep places where life and art meet.
The Tennessee and Arizona Connection
Born and raised in Tennessee, Bowman grew up surrounded by the traditions of Americana, country, and roots music. Yet it was his time in Arizona—marked by exploration, transformation, and discovery—that gave his artistry a unique voice. These contrasting landscapes, both geographical and emotional, now merge in his debut songs.
The result? A sound that blends heartland authenticity with desert-inspired storytelling, speaking to anyone who has wrestled with identity, place, and purpose.

Songs That Dig Deeper
What sets Bowman apart is his approach to songwriting. These aren’t surface-level tracks—they’re rooted in the “deep places in life.” His music is an invitation to sit with the joys, struggles, and complexities that define us. With each lyric, Bowman crafts narratives that resonate universally, while still being deeply personal.
It’s this blend of storytelling and sonic authenticity that makes Bowman’s debut such an exciting moment in contemporary Americana and roots music.
Rooted in Nashville’s Vibrant Music Scene
Now based in Nashville, TN, Bowman has placed himself at the very heart of the American music industry. Known as Music City, Nashville has nurtured countless legends, from Johnny Cash to Chris Stapleton. For Bowman, it is both home and inspiration—a place where craft, collaboration, and performance thrive.
He has been working and performing with a wave of rising artists including Jess Jocoy, Magnolia Highway, Nicki Park, Megan Brown, Jonathan Cyphers, Suitcase Souls, and Ben Backus. This network of collaborations not only highlights his versatility but also positions him as a vital new voice within Nashville’s creative community.
