are a Maine-based folk duo comprised of inveterate musician-entertainers, Dave Rowe and Troy R. Bennett.  They took their name from the A.R. Scammell song "Squid Jigging Ground," which is a wonderful musical depiction of fishing for squid in the waters off Newfoundland.  They combine their talents on guitar, bass, bodhran, and tin whistles to lay down a thunderous musical base for their robust vocal harmonies.

Dave Rowe grew up on the Maine music scene, learning the music trade literally at the feet of his late father, Tom, while the elder Rowe was traveling the country playing bass guitar with Schooner Fare.  Starting out as a young roadie and coffee gofer for his dad, Dave began playing out professionally as a bassist at the age of 15, and hasn't had a real job since! With the formation of Dave comes full circle, picking up his dad's trademark Steinberger bass guitar and playing many of the songs he used to hear Schooner Fare perform so many years ago.

Troy R. Bennett grew up collecting Schooner Fare ticket stubs and albums.  He started his professional career touring with the Portland, Maine Irish band, Rakish Paddy.  Upon leaving Rakish Paddy he adopted the gypsy life, traveling Europe with his guitar, collecting stories and busking on street corners.  On his return to the states, he started a Celtic duo called Bailey's Mistake, as well as the Half Moon Jug Band, a high-octane folk group specializing in new uses for kazoos and banjos.

(Doris Justis and Sean McGhee) celebrated their 30th Anniversary in May 2014.  Noted for their close vocal harmonies and guitars backing their original songs and original interpretations of the best folk/acoustic songwriters, they have shared the stage with a "who's who" of folk such as Tom Paxton, Nanci Griffith, the Chad Mitchell Trio, Noel Paul Stookey and Peter Yarrow, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Bill Danoff, Jon Carroll, Schooner Fare, Christine Lavin, the Limeliters and the list goes on.  They have been the "houseband" for Music Americana and WFMA since 1984 and continue that role by performing at the Second Sunday El Golfo Showcase from time to time.
