Paradise of Bachelors

Nathan Bowles is a multi-instrumentalist musician and teacher based in the mountains of southwestern Virginia. He is known for his exploration of Appalachian old-time traditions and minimalist drone music, showcasing his virtuosic banjo skills. As a member of the Black Twig Pickers, he immerses himself in local folk music and dance traditions. Additionally, Bowles has collaborated with various artists including Steve Gunn, Jack Rose, and Hiss Golden Messenger. His second solo album Nansemond showcases his inventive playing style on banjo, percussion, piano, tapes, and vocals.

Bowles' unique sound combines traditional Appalachian stringband music with contemporary improvised and post-minimalist avant-garde elements. His hypnotic recordings seamlessly integrate tradition-bearing masters like Dock Boggs and Etta Baker with experimental compositional techniques inspired by Paul Metzger and Henry Flynt.

With an extensive discography spanning collaborations across genres, Nathan Bowles continues to push boundaries while respectfully blurring the lines between Southern vernacular music and modernism.

Paradise of Bachelors is a record label, company, and archive based in North Carolina. With a passion for preserving and promoting *authentic* music, the label has become a trusted source for music enthusiasts worldwide.

Founded with the aim of supporting independent artists and showcasing their talent, Paradise of Bachelors has built a reputation for releasing high-quality records across various genres. From folk to country, blues to rock, the label's diverse roster ensures there is something for every music lover.

With an unwavering commitment to exceptional sound quality and artistic integrity, Paradise of Bachelors consistently delivers unique listening experiences. By collaborating closely with its artists throughout the creative process, the label fosters an environment that allows musicians to fully express themselves.

On his playfully sub versive fourth solo album, Nathan Bowles (Steve Gunn, Pelt, Black Twig Pickers) extends his acclaimed banjo and percussion practice into the full-band realm for the first time, showcasing both delicate solo meditations and smoldering, swinging ensemble explorations featuring Casey Toll (Jake Xerxes Fussell, Mt. Moriah) on double bass and Rex McMurry (CAVE) on drums. As he considers the cycles of deceit and self-deception that shape both our personal and political lives, a mixed mood of melancholy and merriment permeates Bowles’s own compositions as well as the interpretive material, which draws from traditional Appalachian repertoires and the diverse songbooks of Julie Tippetts, Cousin Emmy, and Silver Apples.
