| Description: | Rowan Cunningham Band Saturday, May 1 Pot luck @ 7:00 PM * Concert @ 8:00 PM * $15 Advance reservations required * www.rowancunninghamband.com The ROWAN CUNNINGHAM BAND featuring the Rowan Brothers – Chris and Lorin – and Sue Cunningham are now creating quite a stir in both the Americana and Bluegrass music scenes. The acoustic trio, working with guitars, mandolin and fiddle, is a musical tour de force with outstanding three-part harmony on original tunes that appeal to a broad audience. The Rowan Brothers and Sue first performed together at HickoryFest in August 2008 and immediately they knew that were onto something special. They next played the Magnolia Fest in Live Oak, Florida to rave reviews which opened the door for performances at Suwannee Springfest, Gamble Rogers Festival, Huntington Folk Festival, and Levon Helm's Ramble among other notable venues. Chris and Lorin Rowan were born and raised near Boston, Massachusetts where their brother Peter was already making a name for himself. All three brothers played in folk, bluegrass and pop bands. In the early ‘70s, through their brother’s connection, Chris and Lorin got hooked up with aspiring producer and instrumental wizard David Grisman. Before long, they all moved to “where it was happening” San Francisco, and they still reside there today. Both Chris and Lorin have released independent albums. Recently, Chris and Lorin have come full circle with the release of their new album "Now and Then" (BOS Music). They have appeared at the Kerrville and Telluride Festivals, and toured extensively as The Rowan Brothers (sometimes with brother, Peter) in the U.S. Europe, and Japan. They’ve performed on shows with Shawn Colvin, James Taylor, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Randy Travis, Alison Krauss, Nanci Griffith and others, as well as on NPR’s Garrison Keilor's Prairie Home Companion. Sue Cunningham has been involved with music since she was five years old. She is also a practicing engineer and holds a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University. Through her performances and recordings with the international touring band Hickory Project and others, combined with her unique education in classical music, Sue has gained national recognition as a fiddler.
