Biography[edit]

Blowers taught himself to read and play music at age nine using a keyboard he found under his parents' bed. He wrote his first song "God Made Everything" at the age of ten, which was later performed by his church choir.[2][failed verification] Blowers has been a principal or second chair oboist for the Keswick Christian School Band, the Pinellas Youth Symphony, the Tampa Bay Youth Orchestra, the Tampa Bay Symphony Orchestra, the orchestra at Seminole High School, the University of South Florida, and the St. Petersburg College Orchestra and Band. Blowers' original orchestral compositions have been played by members of the Tampa Bay Symphony, and Florida Orchestra.[3] The first symphony Blowers ever wrote won second place at the 34th Annual Composer's Guild Competition.[3] Blowers has also performed in Carnegie Hall with the National Festival Orchestra.[4] He was a member of the "Musical Ambassadors Tour of Russia," in which the St. Petersburg College Madrigalians performed for audiences in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, and Orenburg.[5]

Through Glass[edit]

Blowers recorded his first studio album Through Glass in late 2009 at Oh Good! Studios in DeLand, Florida. The album contains ten piano-driven tracks, most of which were inspired by Blowers' Christian faith. Blowers wrote, sung, and played piano for each song. The St. Petersburg Times described the album as a "slickly produced collection of 10 catchy pop songs, with Blowers singing and playing piano with a soft-rock group."[citation needed] John Fleming, Performing Arts Critic for the Times went on to describe Blowers as "a soulful singer-songwriter of Christian pop music."[2] Singer-songwriter Matt Hires, who is a second cousin of Blowers, made an appearance at Blowers' album première concert in Seminole, Florida, playing lead guitar on "Distance", Through Glass's second track.
