AUBURN — Concerts for a Cause will host the 15th annual “Remembering Tom Rowe” concert — a celebration in song Saturday, May 11, at the First Universalist Church of Auburn.
The show will benefit the Jack McPhillips Memorial Fund. The concert, which is at 7:30 p.m., concert will feature Rowe’s son, Dave Rowe, and members of his band — Schooner Fare — with guests Carole Wise, The Half Moon Jug Band and Bess Jacques and the Strays.
Rowe was a consummate musician-entertainer, member of Schooner Fare and Turkey Hollow, and served as choir director for the First Universalist Church of Auburn from 1992 until his untimely death in 2004. His son Dave organized the first “Remembering Tom Rowe” concert in the greater Lewiston/Auburn area, and the concerts have become an annual event ever since.
The church is at 69 Pleasant St. (enter on Spring Street, across from Dairy Joy).
Parking in the church lot is available, and the building is handicapped accessible.
Concerts for a Cause brings special concerts to the L-A community while raising money for area charities. JMMF is a unique organization that aids people requiring immediate assistance.
