doctor bow
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 live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes. Festivals to Clubs to House Concerts. I prefer small intimate settings where I can interact with listeners.

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....."
