Charlie Bowman-the farmer-turned-musician was one of the pioneers who helped shape and develop a vital American musical genre, country music. Bowman was acquainted with many musical luminaries of that colorful era, including the legendary Carter Family This site is a tribute to Charlie Bowman, Elbert Bowman, Walter Bowman, Argil Bowman, Jennie and Pauline Bowman (The Bowman Sisters), Billy Bowman (steel guitar), and also to my grampa (Jasper Bowman) who inspired me to play music more than anyone. This is a family site and any input or videos from family are most welcome!
Enjoy these new "Hillbillies" / Charlie Bowman videos from 1926-1927. Used old family photos and overdubbed the music. It's good to have CHarlie and the boys on youtube!!!

Thanks so much for all your comments on the videos ive shared...Im sure Al, Charlie, John, Elbert, and the rest of the fellas would be really proud that people still loved Old Time American music all these years later!
