Monk Rowe's Five Families concert

On Friday, October 25th Unity Hall welcomes Monk Rowe's Five Families, a unique musical collective. When The Five Families Ensemble take the stage the five players adeptly combine the highest levels of musicianship and relaxed humor to establish a stimulating connection between the musicians and the audience. You'll hear familiar classics to tunes heard on a long hot night on the Bayou to the background music for a card game in the back alleys of St. Louis -- from Brubeck to the blues.

One music critic commented that their music was “unlike anything we've heard before -exquisite arrangements of vintage pieces to dazzling originals performed by outstanding instrumentalists/vocalists.” Matt Mielnick caps this off and adds “This is a feel-really-good band from start to finish.”
