Lorin Rowan and Doug Harman
Eclectic folk and progressive Americana
Singer-songwriter, Nicole Reynolds, opens
Friday, February 12th, 8pm, $15/$17
Lorin Rowan has been playing music with his older brothers, Peter and Chris, since he was 12. Right out of high school in the early 70’s he and Chris moved west from Boston and became “nearly famous” as an Everley Brothers style pop duo, produced by David Grisman and with Jerry Garcia playing with them. The three Rowan brothers recorded a number of country-rock/bluegrass albums together in the 80’s, and Lorin often appeared as lead guitar in Peter’s famous “Free Mexican Air Force” band. He also led an SF rock-reggae group called The Edge in the 80’s.
As you can gather from this, Lorin is versatile! However, it is his singer- songwriting that really shines, especially with his ability to put this into the Americana and folk/rock genres and perform in unusual and appealing acoustic arrangements. His CD, “Lorin Rowan Trio- Live”, with Lorin on 12 string guitar and vocals, Doug Harman (cello and vocals) and Jeremy Cohen (violin and vocals), recorded at a small club in Ukiah, Ca, and featuring mostly original material, is an example of the very best of live acoustic eclectic folk music. Lorin’s songs have been covered by a number of diverse artists (his song, “Soldiers of the Cross”, was the title track for Ricky Skaggs Grammy winning CD a few years back). In this show Lorin and Doug will be featuring materials from Lorin’s most recent CD, “Rattlebox”, and mixing styles from folk, rock, classical, reggae, country and Brazilian.
Pennsylvania singer-songwriter, Nicole Reynolds, opens the show. Nicole has shared the stage with Dan Bern, Janis Ian, Tom Paxton, and The Waybacks, amongst many others, and
tours the US and most of Europe.
