David Lowery
David Lowery is best known as the singer-songwriter and frontman for the two acclaimed bands Cracker and Camper Van Beethoven over the last four decades. He's been revered in leading the charge of the indie-rock movement with the formation of CVB in the early '80s, spawning such absurdist, left-field pop-rock gems.
After the initial break-up of CVB in 1990, Lowery hooked up with guitarist and friend Johnny Hickman and formed Cracker and proved to be one of the small handful of acts in the early '90s to help spearhead the then burgeoning alt-county scene. Cracker quickly blew up, scoring three Top 10 alternative/rock radio hits, as well as garnering two platinum and two gold albums.
In 2011 Lowery began teaching in the Music Business Certificate program at Terry College, University of Georgia in Athens, GA. In 2018 he received his doctorate from the Institute for Higher Education at UGA, and a year later he was appointed Senior Lecturer.
