The Preons

Josh Cowart started playing guitar as a way to get away from the rigors of dental school 10 years ago. Since then he has led two bands through the finest indie rock clubs in Seattle. When his previous band, Hourglass Lake parted ways, he started the Preons with his sister Janie. Josh’s unique song writing skills and Janie‘s drumming style converged to create the foundation for the Preons sound. Previous lineups have featured as many as 7 members including a dj, a vibraphonist and various horns.

Brad Nelson, the trumpet player, now also fills the keyboardist role. To take over the bass parts, Brad convinced his friend John Hendow, who spent 20 years playing guitar for Seattle reggae legends Jumbalassy, to make the leap to bass in an indie rock band. The result was dynamic. John and Brad, both holders of music degrees, have embraced the liberating world of indie rock, while still incorporating elements of their similar pasts in jazz, classical, and reggae.
