Jared Bowers's Profile

Jared Bowers

A former DIY booking dude with a love for under-heard bands and an appreciation for live music (when he can get to a show), Jared's a father of 2 super weird kids, married to an even weirder woman... and he wouldn't have it any other way. Writing about music since high school, he' evangelistic when it comes to the music he loves, friendly with everyone who cares to chat and always looking for the next noodly, off-time and mathy guitar driven band that nobody's ever hear of. He writes about local music and reviews albums as often as he's able.

Review: Say Anything ...Is A Real Boy, Live at Brady

My voice was shot this morning after singing along for the entirety of Say Anything’s set. I honestly don’t remember the last time that was the case. Judging by the dancing, singing, and vibrancy on display last night, from my perch in the back of the room, a lot of other folks are feeling great today, even as they’re walking around with a sore throat, or, if they’re my age, maybe a sore back.
