Biography
Rowe began his career singing in local clubs and coffee houses, in Chicago, Detroit, New York, Milwaukee, and other cities throughout the United States and Canada.
In the late 1970s and early 80s, he began to concentrate on performances for "special" groups and audiences, such as the developmentally disabled, visually impaired, and the beloved elderly. His music was inspired (and mentored) by Judy Collins, Joan Baez and Peter, Paul and Mary.

Famous quotes containing the word biography:
“Had Dr. Johnson written his own life, in conformity with the opinion which he has given, that every man’s life may be best written by himself; had he employed in the preservation of his own history, that clearness of narration and elegance of language in which he has embalmed so many eminent persons, the world would probably have had the most perfect example of biography that was ever exhibited.”
—James Boswell (1740–95)
“Just how difficult it is to write biography can be reckoned by anybody who sits down and considers just how many people know the real truth about his or her love affairs.”
