Bob Fowler and Stephen Branca have worked together in bands since 1979 and started writing music together in 1981. In 1990 they signed on with Silver Wave Records ( Boulder , CO ) and released their first CD "The Face On Cydonia" in November of 1991. The Album was received favorably by radio stations in the U.S. and abroad, reaching into the Top-15 on all the NAC/AA national charts and to #9 in GAVIN. Music from "TFOC" was also used on several cable network TV shows such as; "Life Styles of the Rich and Famous" and "The Weather Channel."

"Etched In Stone," was released in March of '93. It shot into the Top 15 on NAC/AA charts within three weeks of its release and made it into the Top 10, reaching as high as #7 by week 9 of its promotion. It also reached #17 on BILLBOARD's New Age chart and remained in the Top 20 for more than 15 weeks. "Etched in Stone" was also aired on "The Weather Channel" and "Life Styles..." as well as "The CBS Cable Radio Network" and the In-Flight programming for major airlines. The highest honor was when "Etched..." was considered for a Grammy nomination in the category of Best New Age Album for 1993.

1995 marked the release of Fowler and Branca's third CD "Three Flights Up." The music has all the elements of the first two CDs plus some new blends of Jazz, and Latin rhythms that make it more universally appealing. It is by far the most acoustical of the three albums, utilizing: Acoustic Guitars, Oboe, Flute, Soprano Sax, Piccolo, Upright Bass and Cello. That year Fowler and Branca also appeared in their first live concert performance at "The Berks Jazz Festival" in Reading, PA on March 22, 1995 opening for Andy Narell and his “Caribbean Jazz Project”. They performed music from all three CDs to a sold-out crowd of over 1,500.

In the Fall of 1997 Fowler and Branca were honored to have one of their songs included in a widely distributed compilation CD entitled "Full Moon." They are joined by Adult Contemporary Music legends John Tesh, Suzanne Ciani, Ottmar Liebert, Patrick O'Hearn and other notables.

Almost two years of work resulted in Fowler and Branca's fourth CD…"Real Nice Ride." Without abandoning trademark style or focus, this collection displays broad musical variety. Influences range from jazz, to latin, to world, but there is always a feeling of interconnection. "Real Nice Ride" is a fun album with memorable melodies and the emotional power to engage any listener regardless of musical preference.

Fowler and Branca’s NEW CD entitled “If Wishes Were Horses, Beggars Would Ride” is their best effort to date and marks a new beginning for the duo after a long hiatus. This album is a true integration of their diverse musical interests, with more up-tempo tracks, and edgier sounds and melodies than previous CDs. “If Wishes Were Horses…” is the most experimental yet most universally appealing of their CDs. Production-wise alone it’s an achievement thanks to technology and Bob’s outstanding artistry in the studio. Both musicians have grown artistically and with new born passion are already on course to their next song writing adventure.
