KDB3
KDB3 is a solo studio entity. Doug Bowers is a multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter who writes, records and produces music during domestic downtime. He has gigged professionally since 1973 in a variety of both secular and Christian rock bands. He is a member of the praise band at Immanuel Anglican Church in Destin Florida.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I started playing tough watering holes around Morgantown, WV in 1973. Moved to Florida in 1982 and continued to gig with a variety of great players. I started writing and recording as KDB3 around 1988.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I gave up playing live (outside of church) when hurricaine Ivan blew the Pensacola Beach Pavillion away. The band I was in was doing concerts there. I didn't want to play the bar scene anymore. I'm content with the church gig.
Your musical influences
I'm a total proghead. Early Genesis, Yes, Gentle Giant, PFM, Flash, Focus, Flower Kings, Spock's Beard, Glass Hammer, and Echolyn are among my favorites.
What equipment do you use?
Ensoniq SQ2 workstation. Vestax hard disk recorder. Tascam DAT. A variety of Ensoniq and Alesis processors. Taylor, Yamaha and Seagull guitars. Mason & Hamlin grand piano. The usual stuff.
