About Jeffrey Bowen

At age 11, Jeff Bowen made his first public performance by playing “The Entertainer” for a dinner at his local church. He has been extremely blessed to have spent a career in music ever since.

Playing in landmark venues (Purdue’s Elliott Hall of Music, the famous Redhead Piano Bar in Chicago, Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium and many others) with incredibly talented people through his life, he has spent years crafting songs and performing. Jeffrey has performed with Colton Smith from the Voice and opened for Jay Leno.

“Frivolous” is Jeff’s first album consisting of ten original tracks. These songs were written in 2012 and 2013 during a transition in his life. The concept was to focus on the good things in life – thoughts of playing in life, not working so hard, remembering one’s roots and looking ahead to a solid future.

Jeffrey is a sought-after performer, arranger, songwriter and producer. He also works as music/vocal director at the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis (The world’s largest children’s museum) and continues to create arrangements for competition show choirs across the country.

Rehearsal Dinner & Welcome Party

We contacted Jeffrey Bowen Music and the dueling pianos for our rehearsal dinner and welcome party the day before our wedding. They played beautiful instrumental music during the dinner portion of the party and then broke into dueling pianos once the welcome party started. We had around 100 guests and everybody had a blast. Jeffrey and Jay sounded fantastic, were fun and interactive with our guests, and very professional throughout. Working with Patrick, the business manager, was smooth and enjoyable throughout the planning process as well. 10/10 recommend!!

The Perfect Performance

Jeff made our wedding day truly unforgettable! From the beautiful ceremony music to our first dance and the lively cocktail hour, every performance was flawless. His incredible talent set the perfect tone for our day, creating an elegant, joyful, and welcoming atmosphere. Guests are still talking about how amazing the music was. From his professionalism to his ability to read the room, Jeff truly elevated every moment. Special shout out to Business Manager, Patrick. He, too, was incredible to work with! His communication and organization made everything run so smoothly! Our only regret is not getting more time with them on our special day. We would 100% recommend Jeffrey Bowen Music!

Jeff is amazing! 5 Stars!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Jeff! From the moment we reached out, he was warm, professional, and genuinely excited to be part of our big day. His talent is undeniable—his music set the perfect tone for our ceremony!

What really stood out to us was how easy both Jeff and Patrick were to work with. They were responsive, organized, and flexible throughout the entire planning process. Whether it was coordinating timing, finalizing the setlist, or accommodating last-minute changes, nothing ever felt like a hassle. They made everything so smooth and stress-free, which is exactly what you want when planning a wedding!

I would recommend Jeff to any other couples needing live music. It elevated our ceremony so beautifully! Thank you Jeff!
