Check out winter jam band the Stowaways on Monday Nights at the Empire in Portland. Stowaways are buddies Matt Shipman, Joe Walsh, Steve Roy, and me. Erica Brown is the Stowaway's stowaway. As a banjo player I always thought I was a stowaway in most bands, but now its official... Joe, Matt, Erica and Steve are all instructors at 317 Main St (www.317mainst.org)///
