Bruce Fowler (born July 10, 1947), Tom Fowler (born June 10, 1951) and Walt Fowler (born March 2, 1955) are three brothers who played with Frank Zappa during the 1970s and 1980s. They are the sons of William Fowler (1917 - 2009) and Beatrice Fowler (1921 - 1996). There are two other brothers Steve and Ed who are also musicians but did not play with Zappa. They grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah where their father (a jazz educator teaching at the University of Utah, musician, composer and a columnist for DownBeat magazine) helped establish a jazz education program at Westminster College in Salt Lake City.

Bruce played trombone in Zappa ensembles from September 1972 to May 1975 then again in 1988. Tom joined as bass player in 1973 to 1975 (?). Walt joined on trumpet for the Zappa/Mothers tour of April-May 1974. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
