As Pinkard & Bowden, we performed at comedy clubs and other events needing a comedy act, and we were frequent guests on the Bob & Tom Radio show network, the Johnboy & Billy Big Show network and many other popular morning radio shows across the country. Our music and Bowden's solo CD, "Big Bad Johnson" also still continue to get airplay on those shows as well as Sirius/XM radio. We also made many appearances on the original Nashville Network as well as several major network TV shows. We recorded four albums for Warner Bros.

In 1981 I toured as the bass player for the Burrito Brothers. In 1982, I moved from Los Angeles to Nashville, TN, and formed the Warner Bros. comedy duo of Pinkard & Bowden.
