Chanteur
Country US né le 24 Août 1953 à Minerva (Ohio). John Cowan fut membre des
New Grass Revival.
John Cowan
got his start in Louisville, where he played in scrappy rock outfits like
Everyday People and Louisville Sound Department. In 1974, he auditioned as a
bassist and vocalist for New Grass Revival, and together with
Sam Bush and later
bandmates Béla Fleck and Pat Flynn,
led the charge of the 1980s' bluegrass revival. New Grass Revival disbanded in
1990 when Fleck departed for a solo
career, but Cowan didn't slow down. He did distance himself a bit from NGR's
acoustic foundation, however, choosing to tour as a solo rock act as well as
front the country-rock band Sky Kings (with Poco's Rusty Young). But despite
writing an album, arranging the artwork, releasing a single, and setting a
release date (March 27, 1997), the Sky Kings' full-length sat on a shelf. Cowan
next busied himself with solo work for the Sugar Hill label. His releases there
included an ambitious self-titled effort in 2000, as well as the lower-key
Always Take Me Back in 2002. 2000 had also seen the final release of the Sky
Kings album From Out of the Blue; the set included the entire original LP,
as well as demos and songs that were subsequently completed for the project.
Cowan continued to release the occasional solo project, including the fine Sixty,
which appeared in 2014 as Cowan himself hit that number in age.
