CD REVIEW
"It’s hard to single out any one player but guitarist Margaret Stowe is a constant delight,.." Exclaim! Magazine, April 2007. CD Review: Women's Blues Review LIVE CD
"..Still, it's hard to take your ears and eyes off Stowe....
Stowe also smokes the lights out on guitar..."
Stowe excels in any style...(feature) London Free Press, Sept/2000 James Reaney, Columnist

"Stowe's departure point is jazz, but her style
ranges from folk to blues to world beats....propelled by Stowe's trademark high energy and
eclectic tastes".
"..... most impressive was Marg Stowe on guitar."
Globe and Mail, Toronto Concert Review: TBS Women's Blues Revue
".... the vocals often amounted to filler for dazzling displays by the horn-charged supporting combo. Blame it on guitarist Marg Stowe, trumpeter Lina Allemano, saxophonist Pat Wheeler and ...... reed woman Jane Bunnett..."
Now Magazine, Toronto
Review: Toronto Womens’ Blues Revue

Hi Margaret! Thanks for the add and the kind words. I really enjoyed your music as well. Drop a line when your on the side of the world, I'd love to come hear you play. All the best, Dave
Hi Margaret, Should I some day earn the misfortune of AD'ing a Folk Festival, you'll be my Jazz hire. Should you some day earn the unfortunate job of Jazz Festival AD, I'll be your folk singer. I am understanding our business correctly, aren't I? Yours is a talent of the first order. Jon
Hey Marg! Sorry it took me so long to respond to your last message. Thank-you so much for all your support. I would freaking love to jam with you in Europe someday. Let's make it happen! I am having a blast here. Hope to see you when I get back to Canada though. Cheers!
Thanks for your kind comment! You are very sweet. I am loving your new tunes. Guess I'm just gonna have to by the new CD! Hope you're having a wonderful tuneful summer. b.
Whoa! It's a loooong way down to 'comments' past all your amazing highlights. Thanks for checking in, and make sure I hear loud and clear about your new CD.
Thank you so very much for your very sweet words :)
Your words are very thoughtful, yes I think that men and women must unite and fight together by equal rights, although I'm sure that there are many men who believe in equal rights too, the problem is that only very few men in the world express what his feel and what his think about this topic, but as I'm a crazy dreamer man and I really believe in the true equality of men and women, without prejudice and without discrimination, I always say this. Is a shame than many women in the world are victims of discrimination, abuse and domestic violence.
Marg, you as a musician, you have the possibility to reach the hearts of many people with your perfect music, I'm absolutely sure than many men want to play the guitar as you do, you are more than brilliant, you are a perfect guitarist, I'm sure many and many men enjoy your music, you can inspire other people with your music, I want than you show to the world than all the women shine in everything.
I think that is time than women artists, musicians, models, actress, TV Host fight for this cause and speak for women who are victims of this tragedy called discrimination, abuse and domestic violence, I believe that women artists can make a miracle, many men have to hear that women want equal rights, the women artists should be the leaders of the feminist movement, they have the possibility to reach the hearts of many people with her art.
How are you ? Thanks for your kind words. Guess I've been watching too much T.V. news.....Gaah.....its too much ! A friend asked me how MY myspace looked so good......Told him it was all you, so.....there ya go eh ?
Hey Marg, Thanks for your comment on "In Your Kitchen". It was a nice feeling to know you immediately understood what it is. Hope the new CD is coming together. Can't wait! peace. b.
