Philip Bowen + Aaron “Woody” Wood
June 14, 2024 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
$18 – $22
Philip Bowen (“American’s Got Talent,” TikTok’s Greatest Talent) plays his Citizen Vinyl debut on Friday, June 14. Local blues artist Aaron “Woody” Wood opens. Show at 8 p.m., doors at 7 p.m.
Philip Bowen was born and raised in West Virginia, and his uplifting sound is heavily inspired by Appalachian roots. The dynamic, internationally touring singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist began playing fiddle at the age of four, and his virtuoso skills have become quite popular, with over 1.5 million followers online. His popularity on socials even propelled him to win TikTok’s Greatest Talent competition, beating out thousands of other competitors. He’s played iconic venues like The Bluebird Cafe, 3rd & Lindsley, and been a featured performer on NPR’s “Mountain Stage.” 2023 was a breakout year for Bowen, and saw him share the stage with legends like Darius Rucker, finish as a semifinalist on Season 18 of America’s Got Talent, earn a spotlight at Americanafest, and release his debut album, “Old Kanawha.” He’s had tour dates with 49 Winchester, Josiah and the Bonnevilles, Wyatt Flores, and more.
Aaron Woody Wood’s story is one steeped in music and tradition. Woody is straight up Appalachian soul music, carved from a piece of the NC foothills rock and then rolled through the Mississippi Delta mud, he’s a cosmic cowboy who represents the power, soul and energy of American music. His newest release, Sunshine, was recorded at Fleetwood Shack Studios in Nashville.
