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