DOCTOR BOW (aka Jonathan Wilson) brings back the LOST HERITAGE of the Guitar. He plays eclectic soundscapes on an instrument of his own creation:
The TogaMan GuitarViol (Bowed Guitar)which he also custom builds for others @ bowedguitar.com
Additionally, he performs (whenever time and mood come together) as a solo act or small ensemble. His music has been described as "Ethereal music that feeds the mind as well as the soul" GUITAR9
or...."background music that GRABS you!"
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Yes. Festivals to Clubs to House Concerts. I prefer small intimate settings where I can interact with listeners.
Your musical influences
Phil Keaggy (Glass Harp), Jimmy Page (Led Zep)
,Uli Jon Roth (Scorpions), Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits), Wes Montgomery, George Benson, Michael Hedges, Vivaldi, Paganini, Pink Floyd, and lately Marc Antione. Also an electric violinist named Drew Tretic.
What equipment do you use?
TogaMan GuitarViol (BOWED GUITAR), pedal case from pedalboards.com with Line6 DL4 on looper setting, Digitech reverb,phase,delay,hot rod distortion. Raven Labs active direct box. 1/4 size violin bow and Dark rosin...
Anything else?
My mission is to bring creativity and art back to music. To encourage others to find their true GOD GIVEN voice and not to follow fashion or trends.
"Far better it is to play what is true to you--with the talent GOD gifted you with--than it is to yeild for the approval of others....eternity listens....life gives us one take....the record light is on....."
