Bobbi
​Cowan
Photo
​ Memorial

Bobbi Cowan was a one of the most beloved, thoughtful and creative of the public relations and publicity  professionals of the West Coast Music Industry  starting in the 1960s.  

She sadly passed away on October 22, 2020 , robbing the music industry, her family and her hundreds and hundreds of friends and coworkers of one of its brightest lights.  She was probably best known for her stints at Rogers & Cowan and Gibson & Stromberg.

The photos appearing on this page are but a small reminder of some of the  people and artists that she knew and worked with during her career. 

If you have photos of-or-with Bobbi that you would like to share on this page on our website, please contact Pete Senoff ([email protected]).
