Welcome to the website of Frank Bowers: singer, guitarist, teacher, typesetter, and the chief operator of Far Afield Studios

Frank Bowers is a boisterous multi-instrumentalist who comes from a musical family, and is a life-long musician. His father was a highly accomplished saxophone and clarinet player and his mother was a talented singer and pianist.

Before moving to Idaho, Frank lived in the metro area of Portland, Oregon. He enjoyed the diverse musical environment in the area, and during this time he expanded his musical skills by studying and performing music with musicians in a wide variety of styles. His musical endeavors also inspired his daughter to learn the guitar.

Portland, Oregon is a mainstay on many touring circuits, and Frank became a regular attendee of concerts in the area. On one occasion, Frank was pulled out of the crowd at a Corrosion of Conformity concert and pressed into service as the bass player for the band. Once upon a time Frank was asked by his daughter 'How did you get all that stuff in your voice?' and he said ‘All what stuff?’ and she replied 'All that ... rraaaaaaaaawk!'

Frank has been a featured musician in several ensembles:
