Visual Artist|Abstract Figurative Painter

An Alt. Country Americana band, coming out of Melbourne Town, Australia.

Lead by singer song writer, Gerry Rival, who has been writing songs and playing in bands for over 20 years. While coming from an Indie and Punk Rock background he has also drawn influences from a wide range of artists and styles; from Alternative Country to Americana to roots, he has found his own unique style. Blending melody and emotive guitar work to create a compelling sound that carries his seemingly simple yet thought provoking lyrics. After having  decided it was time to go solo, he's been recruiting various other talented musicians to make his visions come to life. And so the Wheels and Fire were born.

Gerry Rival - Vocals/Guitar,
Pete Allsep - Drums,
Richard Hurst - Bass

Kete Bowers new critically acclaimed album Paper Ships was recorded in Toronto, Canada in September 2018 at The Cowboy Junkies Studio "The Hanger" produced by Michael Timmins and mastered by Peter J Moore. All songs written by Kete Bowers.  "Paper Ships released on 28/06/2019.

"Like Cohen before him, Bowers is magnificent proof that melancholy and torment can produce great music and resonant lyrics, there may be ghosts behind us but Paper Ships encourages us to take their hands and walk with them towards the light." 
Mike Davies, folking.com 

The stone cold beauty of this collection of songs is the combination of Bowers’ heartfelt and often gut-wrenching songwriting with a distinctively rich voice and Timmins trademark crisp production that forces the listener to listen intently to every damn word and chord progression.

"Listening to Bowers' rich voice you'd swear he was as Texan as Guy Clark or Townes Van Zandt. Paper Ships is a classic slice of Americana".
