About the band
Holly Bowling
San Francisco, CA
Holly Bowling is a classically trained pianist who made her name by transcribing a thirty-seven minute Phish jam for solo piano and playing it back whole. Her Dead albums are Better Left Unsung, which reached the Billboard classical chart in 2016, and Seeking All That's Still Unsung. She co-founded Ghost Light with Tom Hamilton Jr., plays in the duo Lacuna, and has sat in with Bob Weir and with Phil Lesh & Friends, as well as Greensky Bluegrass. She is based in San Francisco and bills her nights by what she is playing — some are all Dead, some are all Phish, and some are both, which is why only the Dead ones are listed here.
