Mike, you have been in the industry for a while. Who have you sang with before?

I sang with the Lefevres when I was 16. I later went to sing with the New Hinsons and then The Perrys.

Did you and Kelly meet on the Road?

We met at a concert in Boaz, AL. I was with the Perrys at the time. I saw Kelly and said to myself, "I'm going to marry that girl". I made sure I got her phone number before we left and I called her. I would say it was definitely love at first sight.

How is it different traveling with a large family?

Uhmï¿½can we go on to the next question. **laughing** Truthfully, it's crowded. There are 15 people traveling and it was tight on one bus. Two buses has been a real blessing to us.

You recently signed with Daywind Records. Are you working on a new project?

Yes. We are shooting for November 16th. This project will include 4 of my own original songs, 6 songs Gerald wrote, and 2 written by Savannah Foust.

You are also a noted producer. Who have you worked with in the past?

Well, of course I've worked with the Crabb Family on Crabb Collection. I've also worked with the Perry's.

In recent months, you have experienced radio success. Can you tell us which songs have had success?

Forgiven, Forgotten went to #4 on the Singing News Chart. And Thank God for the Preacher, as well as The Call, both went #1.

You are also a songwriter. Can you tell us a song you have written and maybe a little story behind it?

One that is most recent in my memory is Forgiven, Forgotten. I remember hearing Gerald talk to a crowd at one of our concerts. Hearing Gerald say "Forgiven, forgotten, forever, amen!" triggered something. I knew that would be a great song.

What advice would you give to young artists, songwriters, and producers?

Don't give up on your dreams.

What can fans expect to see from Mike Bowling in the near future?

Basically, you can expect a brand new album. Kelly and I will be doing something we've never done before during our Christmas tour. We will be trying out hand at a duet. We are excited about this. You never know what might come out of it.

Lastly, how can fans keep up with your latest news?

I enjoyed this article on Mike-He is the BEST solo artist today-His new Cd It's My Life is totally awesome--There is one song on there that caught my three year old son's attention...The Maker of the Cross..We just got the tape Jan 16 and he's singing it already...The last part of the chorus says--When I look at my hands and glance in the mirror; I see the maker of the cross--and Chase just looks at his hands and says "I see the maker of the cross in my hands too"--Do you know how it makes me feel to hear my THREE year old say that--he's paying attention and he knows who Jesus is already!--So parents don't think a child is too young to understand--they are not and Jesus loves the little children the most..Mike has been such a blessing to my family and my son Chase adores him and says he wants to be just like MIKE--and he doesn't mean Michael Jordon either it's MIKE BOWLING all the way..Keep on praising and singing for God...we love you Mike!!!!!!!

I know Mike personally and the Hinsons and I never heard either one throw dirt. The only problem I have is Mike is always trying to buy my bus for a song. Mike I love , stay passionate about your dream!

Mike Bowling is my all time favorite singer. He is so sincere and REAL! You know when he sings that it is coming from his heart. When the songs stop and he walks off the stage..He is still the same. He dosn't leave the message on the stage. He carries it with him and all who know him have been affected by it in some way. Wow- He is such an inspiration to me! I love you Mike and Kelly. You guys are the best.

It would be a plus to the Crabb Family to feature Mike Bowling on a single.
