With so much to write and sing about, Maine is a very special place for folk music. It is a state of lofty mountains, fragrant balsam forests, and a craggy, island-dotted coast. And it has hard-working people whose ancestors emigrated from Canada, France, Ireland, Scotland, England, and Wales. They found jobs in fishing, farming, and manufacturing and when the work was done, they shared the handmade music of the countries they left behind.
These influences come together in every performance of the Maine-based Dave Rowe Trio. Dave Rowe, Ed Howe, and Kevin O’Reilly make authentic Maine music, driven by lyrical fiddle melodies and hearty three-part harmonies that sound as rugged as they coast they sing about. To truly experience Maine, you have to go there. But to have a taste of Maine’s music, humor and stories wherever you are, invite the Dave Rowe Trio to perform a concert.
Lobsters are optional!
