Bowser & Blue

Award-Winning Musical Comedy Duo

George Bowser and Rick Blue have been performing together since 1978. In appearances across Canada and the United States - whether in clubs, colleges, corporate and convention events, TV, radio, or theatre - Bowser & Blue are well known for their unique brand of music, comedy, and satire.

George Bowser
Born in Sussex, England, George was educated privately in one of those British schools (Tonbridge) where boys sleep in rows of iron beds that sag in the middle, are forced to take cold showers and go to chapel a lot in exchange for a pretty good classical education and lots of rugger. He immigrated to Canada in 1970 - just in time for the October crisis which he said was not his fault, although being British he was pretty sure that actually in a sort of a way it was. He played lead guitar with several Montreal bands before joining Bowser and Blue as Bowser. George plays guitar and bass and can make recognisable musical sounds with many other instruments, including his mouth.

Rick Blue
Ricky Blue was born in Liverpool, England, but raised in Maine, New Jersey, and Toronto. He has an MA in English from Concordia University. He has been involved in bands and media music in Montreal for over twenty years. In 1981 he won an international "Clio" award for excellence in advertising. He once appeared on television naked. His life had no real meaning, however, until he began to play with Bowser and Blue. Rick plays guitar, mandolin, and harmonica, and sings in a rather pleasant baritone when George will let him.
