For the past eight years, Dave Rowe has organized an annual concert in honor of his dad, Tom Rowe.
Tom passed away on January 17, 20004 after a courageous battle with cancer.
Tom was best know as a member of Schooner Fare, but from 1992-1998 he also performed with his son Dave, as Rowe by Rowe.
In 1998 they added a third member, Denny Breau, and renamed the group to Turkey Hollow Consort.
A group of WFMA fans headed north to attend the Ninth Annual "Remembering Tom Rowe: A Celebration in Song" concert on Saturday, May 11, 2013 (Mother's Day Weekend) in Auburn, ME. The amazingly talented group of performers included the Dave Rowe Trio, Schooner Fare, The Squid Jiggers, Don Campbell (with his wife, Tanya), Danny Quinn and our own Side by Side.
We will post more about this weekend in Maine here soon.
