Peter Rowan - My Aloha!

Americana icon Peter Rowan has had a storied career. Whether singing and playing guitar for Bill Monroe's Bluegrass Boys, opening for The Doors as part of Earth Opera (with David Grisman), having Sir George Martin produce his music while a member of Seatrain, performing with Jerry Garcia in Old & In The Way, writing "Panama Red" for the New Riders Of The Purple Sage or appearing on an Art Of Noise album, Rowan has been recording and entertaining for nearly 50 years-with no sign of stopping. My Aloha! Finds Peter returning to these Hawaiian roots, and bringing them into the present as only he can. Recorded in Honolulu, and accompanied by Douglas Po'oloa Toletino, Jeff Au Hoy, Kilin Reece, and Uncle Mike Souza, My Aloha! #contains 11 originals, played with the heart and style of those who understand that musical labels and genres are only that-simple definitions. It is the music that moves us. Listeners may be shocked at how close the sounds we equate with our favorite styles of music aren't as far apart as we might think, each influencing, and borrowing heavily from others.
