September Bowl of Green is an album by the Canadian band the Grapes of Wrath, released in 1985. The initial vinyl pressing of the album included a cover version of the Beatles song "If I Needed Someone"; it was left off of subsequent pressings. All of the songs were composed by Tom Hooper/Kevin Kane/Chris Hooper. Tom Cochrane remixed some of the tracks.

Critical reception

The Advocate opined that "the predominant use of acoustic guitar with electric instruments is nothing new, but the Grapes of Wrath maintains a warm sound without ever once sounding wimpy." The Daily Breeze called the album "an uneven but often captivating collection of delicate folk-rock, with lots of strumming acoustic guitars and some winning melodies." AllMusic wrote that "the jangly guitars and harmonies win out for a pleasing, though unspectacular, debut."
