FARMINGTON — New England Celtic Arts will present the Dave Rowe Holiday Special at 7 p.m. Saturday Dec. 9, at North Church, 118 High St., in conjunction with the Farmington Historical Society.
The evening will begin with a pie social at 6:15 p.m. A Lewiston-Auburn holiday tradition is returning to Farmington.
Since the early ’90s, Dave Rowe and Phil House have been performing a holiday concert together at the First Universalist Church in Auburn. Through the years the concert has undergone changes. For the first several years, Rowe was joined on stage by his father, Tom Rowe, of Schooner Fare, in their duo, Rowe by Rowe.
After several years, Denny Breau joined the Rowes’ band, becoming a trio called Turkey Hollow. Tom Rowe passed away in early 2004, and since that year, his son has continued the tradition with Denny and Phil.
Over the past six years, the event has become a holiday standard in Franklin County, first appearing at Skye Theatre; with its closing, the show has moved to the Farmington Historical Society’s North Church.
“It’s a family affair in every sense,” said Dave Rowe. “Phil House and I have been performing this show together for so long, and now Denny Breau has since 1998. It’s just like getting together with family and friends for a little music over the holidays. I don’t think any of us would miss this for the world!”
Reservations are suggested. For more information, call North Church at 207-778-2006 or visit www.necelticarts.com.
