About Tarq Bowen
From a childhood in a Herefordshire England, UK farmhouse, punctuated by communal musical gatherings, to early adulthood in urban southern England, Tarq Bowen's music reflects an openness which doesn't sit within a specific genre but is underpinned by the melody-driven, lyrical and polemical traditions of folk, expressed through the vehicles of his and his live band's take on soul ("alt- soul") and blues. Comparisons have previously been drawn to Ray Charles as well as Tim and Jeff Buckley for his style and delivery. His newer material (including upcoming single, "Can't Buy My Soul") calls to mind Marvin Gaye. Ensconced since winter 2015 with his live band members bassist, James McPhail and drummer, Will Stokes near a forest some 80km outside of Frankfurt, Tarq Bowen has been establishing a base from which to develop, record and tour his music further, as well as to found a collective, "Rambling House", to support new and emerging musical and creative talent to do the same. Prerequisites to being welcomed into the Collective are not limited by genre but invite the nurturing of musicality and creativity - and collaboration wherever it lends itself - on a model based on sustainability and growth. The Collective have been rolling out inaugural live shows since May 2016, including with Holy Moly & The Crackers (who will be playing Glastonbury Festival's "Field of Avalon" in June 2016). This builds upon a relationship established with Holy Moly over the past couple of years. Having developed his craft and output on a solo platform over the past several years, Tarq Bowen and his audiences are now enjoying a sound of increased depth and dynamism through the involved and empathetic collaboration of his talented multi-instrumentalist live band joined by Joe Warren on djembe and percussion when circumstances allow. This has garnered sold out shows throughout Germany and the rest of Europe in recent months and this current success is due to culminate in playing the main stage in front of a 20,000 capacity crowd at Schlossgrabenfest in Darmstadt at the end of May 2016.
