Virtuosity
and Accessibility
Bradley Sowash’s rare combination of virtuosity and accessibility has
delighted listeners both here and abroad for over 20 years. Every concert contains a few
familiar jazz standards, yet he is most recognized for instilling feelings that words
leave untouched into his original compositions. An emotional style and formidable
technique have prompted favorable reviews in national publications.
Sowash's music powerfully conjures the
moods. - Village Voice
Bradley's commentaries are an integral part of
every performance. Known for his instant rapport with listeners through
inspirational stories, Billboard Magazine declared "he can really
move an audience along with zest and wit." (He's like a singer-songwriter except
that his "lyrics" are between songs.) At once humorous and touching, he
shares his experiences as a parent, modern dance collaborator, sailor, horseman, outdoor
enthusiast and world traveler making his warm, poetic melodies even more accessible to all
listeners.
My wife and I, along with our daughter,
really enjoyed ourselves; your playing was fantastic as was your stories. They were great!
- Mathew

| 2. Home Concerts |
Imagine a
renowned concert jazz pianist in your living room!
A home concert is a one-of-a kind performance in your home that enables your invited
guests to personally interact with Bradley Sowash. The intimacy of the setting makes
it an unforgettably meaningful experience for the host, guest and performer alike.How do you set up a house concert?
All that is required is a tuned baby grand or grand piano and a commitment to invite at
least 30 people into your home with the expectation that they will enjoy a unique
"concert experience" (not background music). Providing refreshments is optional.
Guests usually contribute a $10 to $15
donation to the performer. CDs and books are offered for sale after the performance.
Your jazz piano concert was the
highlight of our year! - Harold and Liz (hosts) Kissimmee, FL
What's in it for Bradley?
It's a great way to fill in an unscheduled night while on tour. It's always more
interesting to play music than to just sit around a hotel room. Plus the opportunity to
connect with listeners up close is gratifying. |
