"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..."

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

Hello Marg, thanks for your support and becoming a new friend it means a great deal to me. You have created an exceptional space through your music and I enjoyed listening to “Mag's Groove”. OUTSTANDING!! Please take a listen to my music and let me know what you think. Have a fantastic weekend filled with music and joy. Best of luck on your European tour. Danielle
Thanks for dropping by! I was getting dinner the other day and found myself bopping around the house and singing"mag's Groove" to myself - it's very groovy and the melody is so strong it just sticks in my head. I love it. Yes, I have one samba track partially complete - a sort of hyrbrid arrangement of Manha de Carnaval. I love the nara Leao arrangement and I love the Baden Powell arrangement so I sort of stitched them together and that's what I play. Just have to pester my recalcitrant singer (and wife) into laying down her vocal track). Have a couple of other tracks on the way too - a rootsy/blugrass kind of thing that's almost done and a pop song that's a co-write with a yung local songwriter. Trying to get both of those two finished and mixed before end of June. I'll send you a message as soon as I hav one of the new tracks up. It's very sweet of you to stop by! Hope things are going great for you. peace. b.
Thanks so much for that add! If you are every looking for something to do on a Tuesday night please be my guest at Bar 703 (703 College St W 2nd Floor, above the Pizza Nova) For a great night of Blues and R'n'B with Section 8 Rhythm and Blues Band. I hope to see you there someday.
Hello, Margaret! Thank you for the add. I've gone through your page, which I have offered the possibility of scheduling a concert yours, for 3 or 4 September, in the small club for which I work. I love the idea. Your music I feel fresh, elegant, and it would be a luxury and pleasure to have you on our stage. I will work on it, and I hope soon to have our news. A greeting.
FOR ONLY $8!
