BOWMEN is the latest evolution of songwriter Bow Thayer, joined by guitar maverick Krishna Guthrie and anchored by a dynamic rhythm section: honky-tonk heavyweight Eric George on bass and River Thayer (Bow’s son) on drums and percussion.
Rooted in Thayer’s 40-year songwriting legacy, the band revisits a deep and diverse catalog — breathing new life into old songs while fearlessly charting untraveled ground. BOWMEN isn’t just a reinterpretation project; it’s a living, growing organism. Genres blur. Instruments transform. Alternative tunings are standard practice, and Thayer’s signature Bojos shape the band’s unmistakable sonic identity. New material introduces the thunderous Reso-Bojo-Baritone, pushing the low end into uncharted depths.
“How low can you go?”

What makes BOWMEN especially compelling is its generational span. With decades of road-tested experience alongside fresh, youthful energy, the band carries a palpable sense of mentorship and musical continuity. It’s seasoned musicianship meeting fearless exploration — old guys doing something new, young guys doing something timeless.
Thayer’s songwriting moves effortlessly through roots, rock, and global influences, driven by an undercurrent of freedom and unity — a fitting ethos for a band proudly calling Vermont home.
