Heard of Holly Bowling?
Forums:
Heard her for the first time the other night on the Grateful Dead Hour playing a real nice "Crazy Fingers". I liked it.
Guess she played Warren's Christmas Jam, and she's got a few You Tube videos for viewing. https://www.youtube.com/user/mymymymymysoul/videos
She's got an album of GD covers on piano called "Better Left Unsung". http://www.hollybowling.com/
Some 30 second samples of that album here. https://www.amazon.com/Better-Left-Unsung-Holly-Bowling/dp/B01M26LM77/re...
Never have seen her mentioned 'round these parts so thought I'd bring her up. Sorry if I missed a thread where someone talked about her. Enjoy.

Saw HB play this Summer at
Saw HB play this Summer at Asbury Park "Jams On The Sand" free concert series. She played a solo set of GD & Phish music, then played keys for 'Tom Hamilton's American Babies'. Sort of like this one:

Anyway, there was inclement weather that day, so they had the show indoors in the Convention Hall rather than out on the Beach. It was out in the giant hallway / indoor Boardwalk, not in one of the two theater venues.
She is very talented and Great Fun to see live. I look forward to seeing her play again.

She's become almost a semi-regular at TxR, and I've been really impressed with the times I've seen her.
She's good.

I believe she is a woman who was forced to take lots of piano lessons as a kid and then took LSD in high school.

Thanks Ro, for the gentle reminder. I didn't think to search. Just did a quick post last night before hitting the sack. I see some threads now from Uncle Sam and the amazing Patches from last December and January. Late to the party again. But I did get here!
Best to you Ro, and others, for a great year ahead.

She seems to be better as a soloist as opposed to a ensemble player but also hasn't been around that long. Got famous by covering the Tahoe Tweezer and posted it on youtube. She played this summer at Tumbledown with Phil, twittleler, and midnight north if I'm not mistaken (but I usually am).

I could see why that would seem weird. Oh well.

She had two CD's for sale at the merch table when I saw her. One GD covers, the other Phish. I guess she's got a seperate vinyly out with 'The Wedge" and "Twist".

IMO she is perfectly fine in ensemble playing. If there was a weak link in that band (included Phil and some of the usual suspects) it wasn't her.

My wife and I listened this morning to the 4/9/20 set from Holly's living room. We both enjoyed, and thought it was spectacular. Holly is very talented with X-factor too. What a full sound, and interesting interpretations of those songs. I agree with Hoover's comment about piano lessons and LSD. Good shit!

I think her big break was when she played that "epic" 24 minute Tweezer note for note.
