Please visit my website: http://www.acousticreset.com/ David Bowen is a multi-instrument musician and songwriter, performing original compositions and cover songs from the 60s & 70s, including pop songs of today. David accompanies himself on 6 & 12-string guitars, applying folk, folk-rock, and Americana styles under the banner, Acoustic Reset. Occasionally, very talented friends add their voices, acoustic instruments, and their own music to the mix. David’s original compositions reflect on memorable events from his teen years, his early military service, especially the Vietnam conflict, on to the many places he visited/lived - here and abroad, his faith, and his "reflections" about our current humanity. Because of his many travels, David has been very fortunate to be in many musical groups – rock-and-roll cover bands to praise teams. Learn more about David at www.acousticreset.com.
