Holly Bowling in Berkeley

Holly Bowling is an American pianist known for translating the music of Phish and the Grateful Dead into solo-piano arrangements. Her albums Distillation of a Dream: The Music of Phish Reimagined for Solo Piano and Better Left Unsung recast extended improvisations and songs including “Tweezer” and “Terrapin Station” for a single instrument. Live at the Old Church documents her solo concert format in Portland. She later toured as a member of the improvisational rock band Ghost Light, while her appearances with Phil Lesh & Friends connected her piano work directly to the Grateful Dead’s performance tradition.
