Bowie Vision

While others imitate, BowieVision elevates. Forgoing the pretense of wigs and makeup and focusing instead on interpreting David Bowie’s eclectic and expansive musical catalog, BowieVision raises the bar for what a tribute band can be.
In fact, a BowieVision performance is better described as a celebration than a tribute. While lead singer Stefan Mitchell’s dynamic vocals and sense of showmanship are impressive enough, he also shares Bowie’s rare gift for connecting with an audience by creating an atmosphere that’s simultaneously epic and intimate, an approach that resonates with audiences on a deeper level than mere impersonation ever could.
Combining deft musicianship with masterful stage presence, BowieVision’s concert-magnitude experience draws capacity crowds to premiere venues like Seattle’s Crocodile, Triple Door, the Showbox, and Nectar Lounge, and Doug Fir in Portland. The band puts its unique stamp on rock anthems like Rebel Rebel and Suffragette City; the wide-screen balladry of Life on Mars?, Space Oddity, and Changes; mid-70s “plastic soul” (Golden Years, Young Americans, Fame;) art-pop experiments like Fashion, Heroes, and Ashes to Ashes; the high-sheen Eighties classics Let’s Dance, China Girl, and Blue Jean; and late-period gems like Slip Away, Slow Burn, and I Can’t Give Everything Away.
Although Bowie’s personas were ever-changing, his music is timeless. It’s this realization that elevates BowieVision above the realm of trite nostalgia. It may be a bold statement to make about a “tribute” band, but it’s a fact: BowieVision is the real deal. Accept no imitations.
