Rex Fowler (1/2 of Aztec 2 Step) to perform Solo show at Starbird Music Recital Hall Friday May 15, 2009

Singer and writer of songs for the underground folk/rock duo Aztec Two-Step to perform at Starbird Music Recital Hall on

Friday, May 15

Portland, Maine

Rex Fowler,

one-half of celebrated folk/rock duo

Aztec Two-Step,

will be performing a rare solo concert on



Friday May 15, at the Starbird Music Recital Hall at 7:30pm. The venues is located on 525 Forest Ave., in Portland.  There is no cover charge but any and all donations will go towards Rex’s ‘Angel Home Fund’ to help with the purchase his first-ever house.  Maine’s own Paul Lichter will MC and wax poetic!
 
In the late 60's, as a teenager from Maine, Rex followed the song in his heart - first to Boston in 1971 where he met his musical partner Neal Shulman, then on to New York City - where his songs began to take wing.  

Long-time followers of Aztec Two-Step will not be surprised by the beauty and depth of Fowler's songwriting and singing, but even the most ardent fans of Rex’s are likely to be surprised by the emotional resonance of his solo recordings and performances.  For those who care about music, poetry, song-craft and singing, come experience another side of this masterful contemporary artist.  
 
Rex will be performing many of his ATS ‘standards’ as well as songs from his most recent two critically acclaimed solo projects:  Gettysburg: Reflections on an American Life and 200 Cadillacs, a documentary film about Elvis Presley’s gift of choice, a shiny new Cadillac car.

For further information,  please contact Paul Lichter at dijazz@maine.rr.com or (207) 828-1310. www.rexmarchfowler.com <http://www.rexmarchfowler.com>
