BOWZER'S R-n-R PARTY

The impressive contrast between mild-mannered Jon Bauman and his creation and alter-ego, the unique "Bowzer," has raised a lot of eyebrows in the entertainment industry. That is because Jon's portrayal of "Bowzer," leader of the Sha Na Na group, was so convincing that the casual observer thought he actually walked the streets of Brooklyn when not performing. Bauman surfaced as one of the most multi-dimensional performers in show business today, with careers as host, producer, writer, performer, author, musician and social activist. 

In l969, Jon joined several of his Columbia classmates in "Sha Na Na" and created the character of "Bowzer." With "Bowzer" the dominant character on stage, Jon was a major force in leading the group to their successful TV series. At its peak, "Sha Na Na" was the number-one syndicated show in America, and was also seen in 32 foreign countries.

When Jon left "Sha Na Na" in the mid-80's, he began to explore his many talents even further. He did a l80-degree turnaround from a "greaser" to a game show host.  He then became one of the original "VJs" on the music channel, "VH-1." Jon next wrote and hosted LBS Communications twelve-part series "The Story of Rock 'n' Roll." The following year, he became co-host of KHJ's "L.A. In The Morning," having broadened his skills to an issue-oriented talk show.

Finally, Jon's live show, "Bowzer's Original Doo-Wop Party," was the most successful production show ever at Atlantic City's TropWorld Casino and Entertainment Resort. 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!
