Dave Bowen Trio
Good Energy
Bringing life to the party isn’t just about playing great music, it’s also about dancing, smiling, and loving what you do! “The DBO” brings it all together packaged in suits and ties, looking classy and playing flashy.
Unique Instruments
Every piece of The Dave Bowen Orchestra is carefully planned to be unique and interesting. At first glance it looks like a typical jazz trio, then you realize the drum set is miniature, made that way to sound amazing but limit volume. The guitar looks like a typical jazz guitar, but it’s been adjusted and decorated to stand out in a crowd. The upright bass could be on stage with Wynton Marsalis, but we guarantee they don’t spin it around like this at Lincoln Center!
A Salt Lake City Fixture
The Dave Bowen Orchestra has traveled all over the United States, but most people know them from their long standing residency at The Grand America Hotel. For over a decade now they’ve played weekends in The Lobby Lounge, Sunday Brunch in The Laurel, full day holiday celebrations in The Grand Ballroom, and special events in the courtyard and every other space in the hotel. We can say with confidence that no band or vendor has spent more time in The Grand America than The DBO. Same goes for fan favorite The Red Door, hot Sandy brunch spot Sunday’s Best, and winter apres ski at Stein Eriksen Lodge in Deer Valley.
Something for everyone, turning heads
My favorite part about watching this group is watching the audience. Each time they start a song you see people in the area lift their head and look around and say “wait, are they playing ______?”
“Are they playing Pink Floyd?”
“Isn’t this Nine Inch Nails?”
“OMG, they’re playing Ice Cube, I love this song!”
There’s something from every decade, from the sentimental like The Beatles’ “Something,” to the silly like “Ma Nah Ma Nah” or even “Baby Shark.”
It happens constantly because the song list is so unexpectedly great.
