The Rensselaer Land Trust, Inc. (RLT) and The Troy Savings Bank Music Hall Corporation announce the Hall debut of Troy’s own Sean Rowe on April 12. The opening act will include MaryLeigh Roohan. There will be a special Meet the Artist Reception prior to the performance at 6 pm at the Rensselaer County Historical Society. Both events will benefit RLT.
Rowe is an avid naturalist and often speaks and writes of his fascination with the woods and his connection to the land. This connection makes him the perfect artist to represent Rensselaer Land Trust. “The Sean Rowe Benefit Concert will provide us with financial support for our programs including land and watershed protection, education, public outreach and outdoor recreation,” said RLT’s Executive Director Christine Young. “Sean Rowe is a natural partner for Rensselaer Land Trust because of his love of the natural world and his personal connections to Rensselaer County. We are very pleased to partner with both Sean and the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall to further RLT’s work to protect the natural resources that make Rensselaer County such a wonderful place to live and work.
Performance tickets cost $100, $30, $25 and $20 and are available via phone at 518-273-0038 or at www.troymusichall.org. Tickets may also be purchased in person at the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall Box Office, 30 Second Street, Troy, Monday through Friday 10 am to 5 pm.
Limited $50 Meet the Artist Reception tickets are available directly through RLT by calling 518-659-5263 or online at www.renstrust.org.
A Troy native, alternative folk singer songwriter Rowe came of age listening to his father’s record collection featuring The Beach Boys, Elvis Presley and more. In his teen years it was soul and blues of John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Marvin Gaye and Ray Charles that spoke to the bourgeoning singer-songwriter. “I remember thinking how magical it was that I could listen to that stuff over and over again and it would never fail to hit my spine,” he said. “It was also cool to me that I felt like I found that stuff on my own. No one pointed me to it. I felt like it was mine.”
The mission of the Rensselaer Land Trust is to conserve the open spaces, watersheds and natural habitats of Rensselaer County for the benefit of our communities and future generations. For more information, visit www.renstrust.org.
