Bryan Bowers (2023) Image by Jeff Armstrong.

Bryan Bowers is a major artist on the traditional music circuit and will be returning for his ninth Auburn House Concert in May 2024. A well known singer-songwriter, he has redefined the autoharp. Bryan has a dynamic outgoing personality and an uncanny ability to enchant a crowd with both his music and his stories. His towering six foot four inch frame can be wild and zany on stage while playing a song like Dixie and five minutes later he can have the same audience singing Will The Circle Be Unbroken in quiet reverence and delight.

For nearly four decades, Bryan Bowers has been to the autoharp what Earl Scruggs was to the five-string banjo. He presents instrumental virtuosity combined with warmth, eloquence, expression and professionalism.

“To call Bryan Bowers’ performance simply a ‘concert’ would be inadequate if not inaccurate ... (it) could better be described as an experience!” —Deseret News

"For all the acclaim Bryan Bowers has won as the master of the autoharp, what radiates from the instrument under his touch is not flash but warmth and brilliance. You get a good feeling being a member of Bryan Bowers’ audience, the good feeling that comes from watching someone doing just what he needs to do and doing it well and for all the right reasons." —The Philadelphia Folk Song Society

Reservations are required. Your entire contribution goes to the artist. This performance will be held indoors, and space is limited. You may arrive at 6:30pm, music starts at 7:00pm.

AHC Since 2007

Auburn House Concerts (AHC) offers private acoustic performances in an intimate setting at our home in Auburn, Placer County, California.

We began hosting house concerts in the fall of 2007. Our house has a fabulous living room space, with a hardwood floor and high ceiling, that is just made for music. We also know lots of marvelous musicians, so this is a perfect fit.

If you have never been to a house concert then you must attend one: you're in for a treat! Seeing artists perform ‘up close and personal’ is a very different experience than you get in a nightclub, concert hall or festival. Minimal (if any) amplification is used, for one thing. The audience gets a chance to meet the artist during the mid-concert break as well as after the performance.
