Books By John Cowan, Jimmy Schwartz - Author

Hailed as "The Voice of Newgrass," John Cowan has been singing his heart out for more than forty years now in genres from country, bluegrass, and gospel to soul, jazz, and rock-and-roll, often within the space of a single concert. As one of the original members of New Grass Revival, John-along with bandmates Sam Bush, Courtney Johnson, Curtis Burch, Bela Fleck, and Pat Flynn-introduced a new generation of music fans to an explosive and experimental brand of bluegrass, one that would help shape the sensibilities of country megastars like Garth Brooks, the Dixie Chicks, and Darius Rucker. John is currently the bassist for the Doobie Brothers, with whom he recently completed the group's 50th anniversary tour.
