Holly Bowling is a classically trained pianist whose music transcends the traditional boundaries of the instrument, blending elements of classical music with the heart and soul of jam band music. Holly gained prominence in the music world through her unique and intricate transcriptions of Phish and the Grateful Dead songs for solo piano, showcasing not just her technical prowess but also her deep appreciation and understanding of the improvisational nature and the emotional depth of these bands’ music. Her reputation as an innovative musician is built on her ability to take the complex, often improvisation-heavy music of the jam band scene and reinterpret it in a way that feels both fresh and deeply reverent.

Over the years, Holly Bowling has expanded her musical repertoire, evident in her releases such as "Lacuna" and "The Wilderness Sessions (Live from the Salt Flats)," where she explores original compositions and improvisations, further cementing her status as a versatile and dynamic artist. Through her "Alone Together" series, composed of live living room sessions recorded during the pandemic, Holly demonstrated her ability to connect with audiences in intimate settings, reimagining both her own works and those of the artists that inspire her. These performances not only highlight her skill as a solo artist but also her adaptability and responsiveness to the changing landscape of live music. Holly's continued exploration of the interspaces between classical discipline and the freedom of jam band music makes her a unique and compelling figure in the contemporary music scene.
