Fowler returns to hometown
Kevin Fowler makes his hometown return to Amarillo on Saturday, July 10, at the Starlight Ranch, 1415 Sunrise Drive. This will be an outdoor show.
Doors open at 7 p.m. and the concert starts at 8 p.m.
Raised in Amarillo, the guitarist began his musical career on both drums and piano. He left Texas at age 20 for the bright lights of Los Angeles, where he studied music at the Guitar Institute of Technology.
Fowler returned to Texas soon after and settled in Austin, where he joined the hard rock band Dangerous Toys. Following this eye-opening stint, Fowler started his own Southern hard rock band, Thunderfoot. He soon came to the realization, however, that he couldn’t shake his West Texas roots and gave up hard rock for country, the style of music he grew up with.
