Living By The Stream, father-daughter duo of Sarah Dowell, violin and Steve Dowell, guitar, creates a new and unique musical style entirely its own by harnessing the tones of violin, guitar, and vocals into a colorful amalgam of sound imbued with joy and wonder.

The duo first started its musical journey in the early 2000's when father and daughter stepped onto a stage at the Michigan State Fair. From there, the family team hit the ground running. Performing around the local community at churches, cafes, concert series, festivals, and more, it was soon evident that Steve and Sarah were sharing more than just their music - they were in pursuit of a calling to touch hearts and inspire others along the way.

Sarah graduated Magna Cum Laude with a B.M. in violin performance from Grand Valley State University. Steve has been a guitarist just short of his entire life. Influenced by many music styles and guitarists during that time, his musical ear remains piqued for sensing and creating special and unique musical expressions he can infuse into the sound art he paints with his guitar. In his early years he studied the piano, his first instrument, and studied the coronet soon after that.
