Brian Bovenizer
Southside Chicago/Southwest Michigan born and raised,
Brian Bovenizer landed in Astoria in 2009. Since then, he has
been involved in music through the Hackles, Holiday Friends,
Raincoat and Righty, and other one-off projects. Crafting a
batch of original songs since high school, Bovenizer will be de-
buting a set of country-inspired songs with a group of musicians
that have been self-described as the Koala Cowboys. Inspired
by John Prine and Dr. Hook, the Koala Cowboys are surfi ng,
horse-riding, country sonsa-bitches that look real cute, but will
tear your face off with rhythm, sweat and beer.
Assembled especially for the Luke Ydstie Astoria Tour, the band
consists of: Cooper Trail on drums, James Owen Greenan on pedal
steel, Jeff rey Munger on guitar, and Luke Ydstie on bass.
