POLAND – Come join the Poland Spring Preservation Society on Monday, Aug. 3 at 7 p.m. for a fun-filled night with Dave Rowe! Maine native Dave Rowe grew up with folk music flowing through his veins. The son of a member of a popular folk trio, there was always a sort of expectation that Dave would “join the family business,” which he did at the tender age of 15.
With 13 critically-acclaimed recordings under his belt – by himself and with his various bands – and a career in the music business that has endured for some 26 years, Dave is a force to be reckoned with. A long-time staple of pubs and music halls throughout New England, Dave has spent more than half of his life playing sing-alongs having a rollicking good time for himself. He has decided it’s time to take his well-honed solo show on the road to concert halls and festivals around the US and Canada. Having cut his on-stage teeth on the rough edge of Irish pubs, Dave is a singular entertainer, able to relate to even the most stubborn audience members and get them singing along. He firmly believes that singing is balm for the soul, and that singing together – whether in choirs, in pubs, at concerts, or in kitchen parties – is a primary part of the human experience (it certainly has been for him).
When Dave is not touring, you can find him writing songs on his back porch at his home in Portland, working on the house or in his small yard, enjoying the sea air, and walking or bicycling and enjoying the beauty of Maine’s largest city.
Please join in for this exciting evening! Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Contact Poland Spring Preservation at polandspringpreservation@gmail.com or 998-4142. The Poland Spring Preservation Society is a nonprofit 501(c) 3 organization dedicated to preserving the unique historical architecture of the Maine State Building and the All Souls Chapel.
