BO BOWEN (Whistles) spent the first part of his musical career playing trumpet with various Air Force bands from 1972 to 1992. Bo found himself immediately addicted to traditional Irish music after attending a concert by the Irish-American band Cherish the Ladies in 2001. At that concert, he also fell in love with Irish whistles when he heard Joanie Madden playing them. Before hanging up his "trumpet hat," however, Bo performed with the acclaimed Irish band Lunasa at concerts in California and Nevada. As a whistle player, he has participated in music "sessions" throughout the western states as well as in the midwest. He has performed in concerts with such bands as Molly´s Favourite and with Ha´penny Bridge in northern California.
