Damon Fowler: Blues Artist

Saturday, May 9, 2026, 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

“Fowler is as expressive a songwriter as he is a singer and instrumentalist. He’s preaching an otherworldly, Americana-themed gospel from a six-stringed pulpit. He is a roots guitar guru.”

– LIVING BLUES

Florida’s Gulf Coast has produced a plethora of distinctive musicians, from the blues to jazz greats and rock ‘n roll. Tampa’s Damon Fowler, a masterful singer, guitar player and songwriter, has absorbed the best of and furthered the work of the region’s definitive artists.

His new release, BARNYARD SMILE features 8 new original Fowler compositions plus distinctive covers of Bo Diddley and Jerry Reed tunes. This new music combines all of the influences that have shaped his distinctive blues career. A hard driving troubadour, his music is steeped with soul and representative of the many styles that make up the roots of American music.
Produced by Fowler and George Harris (Cheap Trick, Rick Derringer, Brian Johnson—AC/DC), BARNYARD SMILE represents Fowler’s 11th solo release.

Fowler’s 2021 Landslide Records release, Alafia Moon, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart, spent four months in the Top 20, and was nominated for a BMA in the Blues/Rock category. His follow up record, Damon Fowler & Friends, LIve At The Palladium, garnered strong airplay throughout the United States and Europe.
