A Busboys and Poetry Event hosted this week by Mary Bowman
Mary Bowman is an internationally recognized motivational speaker, singer, and poet native to the Washington, DC area. Drawing from personal experience, both transparent and vulnerable whether, in poetry or song, her words allow her access to spaces that aren’t traditionally artistic. From local open mic nights to international conferences and beyond, Mary shares herself openly and proudly. Mary’s life and work have been featured in various mediums; print publications, as well as broadcast television and radio networks. Her powerful performance caught the attention of the editors of A&U Magazine and led them to invite Mary to grace the cover of the August 2016 issue. Mary is humbly continuing to carry out her vision to inspire people to find their own personal empowerment and freedom through her art. Mary has three projects available for purchase, ‘LOTUS’ the 2010 collection of poetry, LOVE B.O.A.T.S. the ep, released in 2014, and EMERGE the 2017 collection of poetry.
featuring: Caleb Hacker
Caleb Hacker is a singer-songwriter, born in May of 1991 in Fairfax, Virginia and raised in the northern Virginia area. His melodic voice and acoustic guitar bring together a sound all his own. An eclectic mélange of indie rock and old school soul, with a sprinkling of pop. He got his musical start singing in church at the age of 7. From there he spent his childhood and teen years singing in his church and school choir. He started playing guitar at age 17, after taking a class his senior year in high school and then self teaching himself through learning different songs on his own. He spent the next several years heavily posting covers on YouTube, and later Instagram, which helped him gain a steady online following as well as garner the recognition of many artist such as Snoop Dogg, Meghan Trainor, Erik Hassle, T-boz of TLC and Monica just to name a few.
