DCBU’s Bass-led Band House Concert Series

John Cowan & Luke Bulla

Friday April 10, 2026, 7-9 pm, Vienna, VA

All Tickets – $60

John Cowan

John, along with fellow New Grass Revival band mates Sam Bush, Courtney Johnson, and Curtis Burch, and later Béla Fleck and Pat Flynn, introduced a new generation of music fans to an explosive, experimental and ultimately, eponymous brand of bluegrass. John then toured as bassist for the Doobie Brothers from 1992 through 1995.

Cowan currently tours with the Doobie Brothers and performs with his own band John Cowan’s New Grass All Stars, and the HercuLeons with Andrea Zonn. He is a member of the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame. Cowan will release a memoir, Hold to a Dream: A Newgrass Odyssey, in May.

Luke Bulla

Luke spent his early years in Tennessee playing fiddle in Ricky Skaggs’ band, Kentucky Thunder, which earned him his first Grammy Award. Following the Skaggs stint, he became a member of the John Cowan Band. 

In 2009, Luke released a solo EP featuring Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, Bela Fleck, Aoife O’Donovan and more. That same year, Lyle Lovett asked Luke to join his Large Band, with whom he toured full time until 2023
