He travels the country supporting Democratic candidates. Bowzer will be in town Saturday. He is raising funds for a Blue Dot candidate. I will be getting some autographs. I'm a sponsor for the event. Tickets are sold out.

14. Sha Na Na had a TV show ca. 1979

It was kind of a comedy-variety show, which of course featured their 1950's-style music.

They also played at Woodstock.

I also read that Bowzer is a graduate of Julliard.

19. Mainstream US-only (I assume) pop telly culture from way back then (1979 was 17 years before I was born, plus

I grew up in London since I was less than 2 years old) is not my forte, lol.

I was born in Los Angeles in late 1996 to non US citizen parents from Sweden/Barbados/UK.

Late 70s punk, post punk, new wave, no wave, industrial, etc music, sure, THAT I am a little storehouse of knowledge on, no matter what the country of origin is (within some reasonable limits, I will not claim to be an expert on 1979 Uzbekistan synth-wave, 1980 Rhodesian ambient pop, or 1981 Indonesian speed punk, etc etc lol).

7. Grease for Peace

Bowzer and the Band played Woodstock.

8. I met him at a R&R car show in Sharon PA back in 2022

He was being inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame located there in Sharon along with hometown hero Tony Butala of The Lettermen. There's a car themed bar complex there called Quaker Steak & Lube. They had Butala's custom El Camino hanging from the ceiling back then

To say they were approachable is an understatement. Like "Goin' Out of My Head At The Hop".

There is no question where he stands.

13. Thanks for the memories

Hubby and I saw Bowzer & gang in Omaha back in the late 70's. Enjoyed the performance, and encores, tremendously.

[PCIntern]

15. Had all their records and saw

them in Rochester NY in 1974 and Philly in 1981 (or so). Great show…

16. Grease for peace!

[Give Peace A Chance]

17. Saw them in Boston in 1971

Fun times!

18. I sure do remember Bowzer. Adored him.

[Martin Eden]

20. Seemed a little out of place at Woodstock, but Bowzer and his crew were fun!

I had no idea he was still going strong more that 56 years later!

Geez, that reminds me of the performance of Ten Years After at Woodstock. RIP, Alvin Lee.
