| "…youthful zest, pulsing melodicism, and pedal-to-the-metal energy, Rowe and his pals prove there's nothing retro about carrying on the family name. " | |
| "You guys are perhaps the best live act I've ever seen, very fun!!" | |
| "I personally recommend their latest CD "Three's A Charm" which captures not only the excitement of their live performance, but also is a testament to the craftsmanship that they have developed since forming this group in 2004." | |
| "Basically, they are a three-legged Hot Rize with a musical accent, thanks to the superior songwriting and lead voice of Rowe, not to mention the excellent musicianship of all three legs." | |
| "…performance at Milwaukee’s Irish Cultural and Heritage Center…. The seats filled quickly, and the audience was enthralled as Rowe’s huge, deep voice filled the room and vibrated off the walls. Within minutes, he had everyone singing and clapping along. It was a toe-tapping good time…." | |
| "DAVE ROWE TRIO, The Good Life, (Outer Green 8962). No banjo, but this Maine-based threesome (Dave Rowe, guitar; Kevin O'Reilly, bass; Edward Howe, fiddle and mandolin) does cruise through the eleven songs and tunes here (most written by Rowe) with a certain bluegrass flavor, with more than a dash of the Maritimes thrown in ("New Harbor Reel," "Quebecois"). Vocally and instrumentally, Rowe and his mates are easygoing and engaging." | |
About 2004 CD release, Big Shoes: "Very impressive. If I were still on the air this would go into 'heavy' rotation....this one is special and presents one of folk music's 'ready to break through' artists, ready for heavy national exposure." |
