Rowland & Tumblin'
Kyle Rowland
Kyle Rowland powers through the reeds of a Harmonica, honoring the rich traditions of American rhythm & blues, soul, and gospel. Rowland quickly and naturally developed his own sound, with help from a few of his heroes such as James Cotton, Lazy Lester, Hubert Sumlin, Billy “Boy” Arnold, Matt “Guitar” Murphy, Henry Gray, Charlie Musselwhite, and many others. Through these pioneers, Rowland learned specific techniques of stage presence, the music business, and several highly revered harmonica secrets, evident in his performances. In August of 2022, Rowland signed an endorsement deal with Hohner harmonica company, which he has proudly used for his 20+ year career. Recently with the help of Hohner, Rowland has had the opportunity to teach the harmonica to hundreds of children across the United States, Mexico, and Cuba. In 2024, he was inducted as the youngest member into the Sacramento Blues Hall of Fame, where he began his musical journey at the age of 10. In both 2024 and 2025, Rowland placed as a simi-finalist in the International Blues Challenge, in Memphis Tennessee. In Spring of 2025, Rowland signed with Little Village Foundation, a California based record label, and will begin to record his latest record in May, produced by Rick Estrin.

Kenny Marchese
Busting his blisters in the Northern California area beginning in the early 1990s, Kenny has backed up musicians such as Billy Boy Arnold, Guitar Shorty, and has been a steady member in Sacramento hit bands The Huckelbucks and The Chromatics. Obtaining inspiration from his close friend Anson Funderburgh, Kenny captures the essence of Texas blues through each piercing note.
Mike Phillips
Previously touring the world with Charlie Musselwhite and R.J. Mischo, Mike's soulful bass lines uniquely define the sound of the band. Spending the majority of his 30 year career in the Bay Area, Mike's latest arrival in Sacramento has been rewarding for musicians and listeners alike. Mike's deep understanding of music theory provides a plethora of ideas, when the band is writing or learning a new song.
Myles Silveira
Newest member to Rowland & Tumblin', Myles, similar to Kyle, began honing his craft as a toddler, playing percussion on shows with his drummer father, Scott Silveira. From a young age, Myles has had the opportunity to back up Craig Horton, Alabama Mike, and even spend some of his childhood afternoons at John Lee Hooker's house. Myles has an AA degree in music, and has returned to Sacramento State to obtain a degree in History. His traditional approach and his progressive mind, create a hip dynamic in the band.
