Bio:

NEW VIDEO CLIPS COMING SOON !! Really excited and pleased with latest album "escape from suburbia" which is my 2nd solo effort. There is some of the outstanding lead guitar work provided by Christian Nesmith really makes the songs exciting and energetic. Very glad I was able to get Christian involved. End of 2009 we enjoyed a couple live shows to promote the new album - sponsored by "ROCK THE DENIM(R)" that included Jerry Best on Bass, Christian on guitar, my pal Billy Davis on guitar, and my brother Bob Yerby on Drums - and a little vocal help from Jill Kokalis-Scott. My first solo album was called "The Day after Yesterday" THE DAY AFTER YESTERDAY (title track from my first album release) was used for a movie release called "ALONG THE WAY" as the main song during ending credits - You can only hear this special acoustic/djembe mix at www.alongthewaythemovie.com Prior to "the Day after Yesterday" i recorded an album with EPIC - see www.epic-rock.com for more info.. .... I have been very fortunate to have played at some point or another with some of current musics greatest guitar & bass players from Tony MacAlpine, Joel Schearer (Strangelove, Pedestrian, Alanis Morrisette), Joe Holmes (Lizzy Borden, Ozzy, DLR Band), Tracy G (DIO, Epic, WWIII, Goaded), Christian Nesmith, JJ Farris (The Tories, Paint, Slammin Gladys), Enzio (thought industry), Joey Vera (armored Saint, Fates Warning, Anthrax), Larry "Bones" Dennison (Dio/Lita, Lita Ford), Nova Kane and some other greats (sorry if your name is not listed here it's late !!) - Thank you for stopping by for a visit. I've set up my website at WWW.BRADALDEN.COM where you can find more info/photos/music there. I have been in various Rock, progressive, pop, and acoustic projects over the years - I took a few years off from music to raise a young family until about 2005 - when I wrote/recorded a hard rock cd with EPIC called "Metaphor" with some former DIO and India.arie artists (you can check that out at www.epic-rock.com .. and see a few videos etc.) - that project was a lot of fun - i then went on to record my first solo cd - in 2007 called "The Day After Yesterday" - ! The Day After Yesterday, and Escape from Suburbia were recorded in my home studio - the drums for both were performed/recorded by Bob Yerby (remo inc). The title of my first cd, "THE DAY AFTER YESTERDAY," was inspired by my son Crosby who actually said "the day after yesterday" by mistake (he meant to say "the day after tomorrow" when referring to something coming up he was looking forward to), and I thought it was a great statement that actually reflects "TODAY" or where you're at today in your life - which is all you've got really. It's totally appropriate for me, hence the cd title. ESCAPE FROM SUBURBIA is more of concept album playing with the idea of someone losing their mind in the reality of suburban America. When not making music, I like to spend time with friends & family (Bradi my daughter, & Crosby my son,...oh...and gizzy the dog) , and I also spend a decent amount of time in my LA denim showroom - I am deeply involved in the Los Angeles jeans/fashion biz as well as music. I also enjoy catching a few fish with my buddy Jess Settum from time to time too (Thanks JESS). I have a great family, great life, and hopefully some great music to share. I want to send a special thanks to Bradi (my daughter), Crosby (my son), "Gizzy", my mother Sharon, my brothers Jeff & Nick, as well as Wesley Herman for your support - I look forward to seeing a lot of you soon at a gig or elsewhere in the near future! A special thanks to WARREN SALYER at DIGIPREP mastering in Silverlake CA !! Best, Brad Alden Mowry(a/k/a: BAM) Below is a link to my 2006 band EPIC cd "metaphor" (hard rock).. .

Influences:

Vocally/lyrically I always loved Steve Walsh from Kansas, DUg Pinnick (Kings X), Chris Cornell, Neil Young, Stevie Wonder, David Crosby, RICKEY MEDLOCKE & Robert Plant. Bob Seger is an amazing songwriter I enjoy as well. I also love listening to Robert Cray, Seal, and Kool & the Gang when the mood suits me.. Musically one of my recent favorite bands to listen to is Porcupine tree as they fuse such a variety of great styles I can relate to. Amazing.

IT IS A TOUGH QUESTION - INFLUENCES CAN MANIFEST IN UNIQUE WAYS, COMBINED WITH YOUR NATURAL GOD-GIVEN SOUND - THATS WHAT IT IS... Someone recently commented at a live show our sound was somewhere between Audioslave and Fleetwood Mac (loved that compliment - thanks !)... ..
