About Joshua Bowlus –

Joshua Bowlus began classical piano training at age five, studying privately at Stetson University before discovering jazz in high school under the influence of pianist Harold Blanchard and band director Andrew Kidd. A Louis Armstrong Award recipient, he went on to study at the University of North Florida under pianists Kevin Bales and Keith Javors, with legendary alto saxophonist Bunky Green serving as his primary mentor. Since graduating in 2006, Bowlus has built a distinguished career as both bandleader and sideman across the Southeast, performing at major festivals and venues including the Jacksonville Jazz Fest, Savannah Jazz Fest, and Iridium in New York City — as well as internationally in France, Spain, and China, where he performed with the UNF Jazz Ensemble on the Great Wall.

Bowlus is a sought-after sideman with an impressive roster of collaborators, having performed with artists including Delfeayo Marsalis, Lisa Fischer, Jazzmeia Horn, Ulysses Owens Jr., Benny Benack III, and Bunky Green, among others. He co-leads the Jax Jazz Collective — a modern jazz sextet with two albums to its name, now collaborating with a Jacksonville Symphony-sponsored 17-piece big band — and has recorded with celebrated artists such as Dave Weckl, Greg Howe, and vocalist Linda Cole, a member of the Nat King Cole family. Part owner of Jacksonville’s Bold City Music Productions, Bowlus continues to perform and record actively, with new original and collaborative projects currently in development.
