John Cowan, also known as the Voice of Newgrass, has been singing his heart out for thirty-seven years now, and his soaring vocals have only improved with time. His rise to fame began in 1974, when he auditioned to play bass for the then up and coming “New Grass Revival. Fellow members Sam Bush, Courtney Johnson, Curtis Burch, and later on Bela Fleck and Pat Flynn joining the band, went to to shape a sound for such superstars as Garth Brooks, The Dixie Chicks, The Zac Brown Band, and Darius Rucker. The band went on to tour with Leon Russell for several years, initially opening his shows, eventually becoming an integral part of Leon’s performance.

John went on to become the bassist for The Doobie Brothers in 1992 thru 1995, and then joining them again as their full time bass player and vocalist years later, and still touring with the band to this day.

John in addition to being a high in demand session player with well over 140 credits on recordings, has released numerous solo and band projects including: The Sky Kings (re-released in 2000 on Rhino Records), his 2010 recording “the Massenburg Sessions”, and his 2014 release “Sixty”.
