Beaucoup Blue

David and Adrian Mowry, whose combined considerable talents make up Beaucoup Blue, do not sound like your typical roots Americana acoustic blues Father/Son touring band. Maybe thats because there are precious few, if any other, father and son duos playing in their genre. Or maybe its because they are just so damn good at doing what they do that nothing is typical about them. Evidence points to the latter.

Whether playing original compositions one could swear were timeless classics or fresh arrangements of classic songs that make them new and vibrant, Beaucoup Blue consistently impresses. No less an authority than Billboard Magazine honored Beaucoup Blue as the Grand Prize Winner of their 17th Annual Billboard Magazine World Songwriting Contest in the R&B/Blues Category.

In his review of Beaucoup Blues most recent full length CD release, Free To Fall, Richard Cuccaro of Acoustic Live NYC noted, With the third album of what promises to be a very long career, Beaucoup Blue has already built a body of work that is seething with passion and intelligence.

But neither the awards they have won for songwriting, nor the praise their recorded work has garnered does justice to the power of a live Beaucoup Blue performance. Sarah Craig of Caffe Lena, Americas oldest continuously running coffeehouse/listening room, observed, . . . this powerful yet gentle father-and-son duo gets their audience lost in reverie with arrestingly soulful blues-based music, while The Philadelphia Weekly raves about Beaucoup Blues spine-tingling vocals and guitars.

Chalk some of that up to family chemistry; distilled over years like the finest of Scotches. David and Adrian have been playing together for decades now, and there is no substitute for genetics to help voices find the perfect blend. With Beaucoup Blue thats an aural weave of silk and linen, purring over scintillating slide guitar licks with just enough rasp to heighten all your senses.
