Peter Rowan Bluegrass
Band
One
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
