Peter Rowan Bluegrass Band

Jody Stecher, Keith Little and Peter RowanOne of the most popular musicians to grace the RBA stage, Peter returns with his red hot bluegrass band -- Keith Little (banjo, vocals), Paul Knight (acoustic bass) and Jody Stecher (mandolin, vocals) -- for some amazing vocal trios, classic bluegrass and classic Rowan songs, and a show that provides genuinely moving moments and a satisfying evening of music.

Peter Rowan is internationally-known for his music on more than 50 albums and decades of memorable performances in a variety of stylistic settings -- impressionistic folk, Tex-Mex, "Reggae-billy," Celtic, his "New World" blend of Afro-Cuban and Caribbean, fusion rock -- but it is with bluegrass that he has made some of his most enduring music. Peter was a member of Bill Monroe & the Bluegrass Boys, Old & In the Way, and Muleskinner, and has collaborated extensively with a number of bluegrass giants, including Tony Rice, Nashville Bluegrass Band, Jerry Douglas, Ricky Skaggs, Richard Greene, Tex Logan, Bill Keith, and, now, his great bluegrass band.

“I have always followed Bill Monroe’s advice: if you can play bluegrass, you can play anything. I’ve never worried too much about which category I fit in. At some point, I realized the songs I write take me in that bluegrass direction.” - Peter Rowan, The Knoxville Journal
