Tom Rowe

This weekend, The Squid Jiggers are proud, as always, to be playing at the annual tribute to Tom Rowe. The show has been raising money for the Jack McPhillips Memorial fund for years. This time around, it’s been decided to dedicate all the money raised to the victims of three back-to-back fires in the “L” half of Maine’s L/A.

“I’m glad the board of the memorial fund has decided to do this,” said Dave Rowe, son of the late Schooner Fare bassist in whose memory the annual show takes place. “I know my father would approve. He lived right across the river in Auburn for many years.”

Tickets are still available for the show. The lineup includes the Dave Rowe Trio, Danny Quinn, Side by Side, Schooner Fare and a surprise appearance by Don and Tonya Campbell.

The Squid Jiggers will play a show Saturday April 27, 2013 at 7p.m. to help raise money for the Natural Resources Council of Maine’s “Clean Air, Clean Energy” project. It’s part of a community concert series hosted by the North Windham Union Church.

Clean air is essential for healthy, happy lives. Clean, renewable energy helps ensure clean air. The NRCM works hard for policies and initiatives that will improve Maine’s air quality and reduce global warming pollution throughout Maine.

Of course, Squids really care about water, too. Tar sands oil is one of the dirtiest fossil fuels on the planet, and the NRCM is on top of the issue and the possibility of it being pumped straight through the Pine Tree State. The pipeline they’d use passes next to Sebago Lake, the drinking water supply for more than 15% of Maine people, and could endanger Casco Bay and our fishing and lobster industries.

So, please come out to the show and have a rip-roaring good time. You’ll feel good singing along and you’ll feel better knowing you’re doing the state some good.
