Wade Bowen with Clayton Mullen at Joe's Bar

Twenty years and more than 4,000 shows into his career, Wade Bowen has become synonymous with country music, songwriting, and captivating live performances, and for good reason. An artistic descendant of American icons like Guy Clark, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Robert Earl Keen and more, Bowen is an important voice in a legacy of Texas troubadours stretching back more than 50 years. Texas Radio agrees, as he scored Male Vocalist of the Year, Single of the Year, and Songwriter of the Year at this year’s T3R Awards, along with a #1 hit for his foot-stomping, signature country-rock single “Honky Tonk Roll.” Revered as one of the genre’s finest and most authentic modern voices, Bowen’s approach is rooted in tradition, but also stands on the creative cutting edge. His focus remains on writing unique songs with a literary quality, and shifting his sonic territory to match his life. A dozen albums have shown his musical diversity – including six studio sets, two live collections, a gospel album and an ongoing series of buddy-country hits with fellow Texan, Randy Rogers. A road warrior, Bowen continues to perform more than 200 dates a year across the U.S., with a slew of sold-out shows already under his belt for 2023, further solidifying his dedicated fanbase.
