This holiday concert is a Lewiston/Auburn holiday tradition. The show will start with the performers taking their turns on stage and coming together for some selected tunes. The Dave Rowe Trio includes singer/guitarist Dave Rowe, who is the music director at the church; bassist Kevin O’Reilly; and fiddler Edward Howe, formerly of popular Lewiston-based band, Wake the Neighbors. The trio is one of the area’s most popular folk groups, performing their own Maine brand of original and traditional music to audiences across the country. Guitar master and songwriter, Denny Breau, is a Lewiston-Auburn hometown boy who has made a name for himself as much for his jaw-dropping guitar work as for is ease and gentle on-stage humor. He and Rowe were bandmates in Turkey Hollow with Dave’s dad, Tom Rowe of Schooner Fare fame. Phil House, pianist extraordinaire and organist at the church, will present his holiday offerings on the Chickering grand piano and the church’s historic Hook & Hastings pipe organ. The concert will culminate with Rowe and House performing their annual rendition of O Holy Night in English and French, which always leaves the audience breathless. This L/A holiday tradition was the brain-child of Dave’s dad who started it all by organizing the first concert with he, Dave, and Phil back in the early 1990s while Dave and dad were performing as Rowe by Rowe. It has been an annual tradition ever since and most regular attendees comment that this concert signals the beginning of the holidays for them. CD recordings of the 2005 concert will be available for sale at the concert as will the new “Christmas in Maine” CD, released to benefit Maine Credit Union Campaign for Ending Hunger in Maine and to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the “Maine Christmas Song” by Con Fullam. Tickets for the concert are $15/$13 for students and seniors and may be purchased at the door, all seating is first-come, first-served. Doors will open at 6:30 PM.
