The Band Bowser has a lot of history behind them, considering most of the group have grown up together since they were preschoolers, Growing up together and playing music in various bands has lead this group to an almost mind reading ability to communicate on stage. We can improvise like the best of them. On stage is when the band is at its finest, blending songs together and stretching out there boundaries. Our leader Luke Abler is the Rock and Roll Child of Keith Abler a legendary figure from the 70’s Rock Band Sunblind Lion. He has been groomed to sing and play the guitar his whole life, so essentially he sings and plays likes the wind. Tragedy struck the band in May 2003 When Original Member and Bass Player Derrick Weiland was killed in an automobile accident. Bowser slowly moved forward at this point and continued to play on, and with some time off was able to work in another childhood friend John Selak at the Bass Position.

Bowser consists of Luke Abler (Lead Guitarist and Lead Vocalist), Owen Mooney (Keyboardist, Backing Vocalist) Jon Prigge (Harmonica, B. Vocals), John Selak (Bass, B. Vocals) and Chuck Elenbeck (Drums and Percussion).
