Kevin Bowe – Guitar / Peter Anderson – Drums / Steve Price – Bass / James Tyler O’Neill – Keyboards
Kevin Bowe is a guitarist/writer/producer whose songs have led to 3 platinum records and two Grammy winning albums working with such artists as Jonny Lang, Paul Westerberg, Etta James, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Leo Kottke, Robben Ford, Lynyrd Skynyrd,Dan Wilson, Richie Sambora, Chuck Prophet, Tommy Castro, John Mayall, Shannon Curfman, Three Dog Night, Delbert McClinton, The Meat Puppets, Freedy Johnston and lately, Alison Scott.
Kevin was first discovered by producer David Z in the early ’90′s and wound up signing with publishing legends Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. A top 5 single (“Breakin’ Me” with Jonny Lang), songs placed in over 50 films and TV shows including The Sopranos, The Tonight Show, Letterman, production/mixing work for everyone from ESPN to the Meat Puppets and national tours with artists like Paul Westerberg have proven that Kevin can pretty much BS his way into any gig and figure out the rest later.
His collaboration with Alison is the culmination of all these strange experiences; he serves as guitarist, producer, co-writer, manager and janitor but thanks God every day he doesn’t have to be the booking agent any more. No one deserves that.
A two-time recipient of the Minnesota Music Award for best drummer, peterandersondrums has appeared as a drummer/percussionist on over 75 albums, and performed over 1000 shows in North America, South America, Europe, and the Caribbean.

- wrote a song composed of Herbie Hancock samples for the purpose of having Herbie Hancock perform a solo over the middle eight. Attended the session where HH recorded his solo. This leads to a gig as Whitney Houston’s drum tech.

The nucleus of that band morphed into “2 Tickets 2 Paradise”, the legendary “band of 1000 cover songs”.
Steve is also a successful engineer/producer/mixer with expert certification in Logic and Pro Tools. Besides working with Alison he also plays with The Suburbs and Freedy Johnston.

He sings, plays keyboards, guitars and bass and has played hundreds of live shows, done television and radio, recorded, produced and played on albums, composed original songs, created scores for dance, and experimented with improvisational music.
