The stunning disparity between mild-mannered Jon Bauman and his creation and alter ego, the inimitable "Bowzer", has raised a lot of eyebrows in the entertainment industry.
That's because Jon's portrayal of "Bowzer", leader of "Sha Na Na" for fourteen years, was so convincing that the casual observer was certain this hilarious, gangly greaser actually stalked the streets of Brooklyn when he wasn't appearing with the group.
Later, when Jon Bauman washed the grease right out of "Bowzer"'s hair, he surfaced as one of the most multi-dimensional performers in show business today, with careers as host, producer, writer, performer, actor, musician and social activist!
Finally, Jon's live show, "Bowzer's Original Doo-Wop Party", was the most successful production show ever at Atlantic City's Trop World Hotel and Casino.
Jon has been performing ever since with his group, Bowzer and the Stingrays, at fairs, amusement parks, cruise ships and conventions all over the country and the world!
He recently started the Truth in Rock Association, and is spending a lot of time in Washington with the Intellectual Properties Subcommittee of the House of Representatives. They're working to change the law to better protect real artists from the 50's and 60's from knockoff impostor groups, and Jon is currently writing a book on this subject.
