EARLVILLE – Grammy-winner Peter Rowan returns in honor of the EOH 40th anniversary with his hot-pickin’ bluegrass band on the historic stage of the Earlville Opera House Friday at 8 p.m. WAER FM generously sponsors the Peter Rowan Bluegrass Band.

“Grammy-award winning singer/songwriter/guitarist Peter Rowan has been a well-known figure in bluegrass and roots music circles since his early days as lead singer and rhythm guitarist for Bill Monroe’s Bluegrass Boys... [His new recording] Legacy marks the first time in Rowan’s career that he has recorded with a bluegrass band under the auspices of his own name...the warm, tight harmonies of the new Peter Rowan Bluegrass Band improve upon the charming, but slightly looser harmonies of the original Old & In the Way.” (Jud Conway)
