About Me

I play in Matching Orange, The Dave Rowe Trio and Jaded Mandolin. Other bands you might see me with occasionally are The Wild Sea, Nor'easter, Perpetual eMotion...others. I go to berklee college of music. I work at Club Passim, which is basically where I grew up.Some other things I love are wildlife photography. listening to my siblings playing music (my 12 year old sister sings the shit out of Ella Fitzgerald, my 12 year old brother writes his own songs sings in his band Children from the Sand, and my 10 year old sister is a monster on the violin) and making websites. Someday I'll be able to live with the stuff I write and play my songs out more. Right now I just listen to my faves and try and back them up as well as I can. Some of my faves are Patty Griffin, Brian Webb, Dan Bern, Darrell Scott and Rose Polenzani. I also love traditional string music. Love Andy Irvine (including Planxty and all his other stuff) and Paul Brady, love Crooked Still and Tim O'brien. Love Nightingale and Lissa Schneckenburger...love lots of stuff.I love playing with my friend Rebecca Wudarksi and I love playing with Ari and Mia Friedman.I love Maine Fiddle Camp and jamming with my friends like Owen Marshall, Jeff Lewis...tons more cool peeps out there.
