“After a long fascination with nature as a kid and finding inspiration from naturalist Tom Brown Jr., Rowe fueled his passion first through several week-long courses at Tom Brown’s Tracker school. He later went on to spend a year as an immersive student at Hawk Circle before his 24-day survival solo trek through the Catskills in 2007, where he lived in a primitive shelter and harvested wild plants and small game. After a brief stint in college pursuing a career as a forest ranger, Rowe knew without a doubt that he wanted to make music his full-time career and wild food foraging his full-time obsession. He’d written his first “real” song at just age 18, already inspired by music legends like Bob Dylan.
His music has appeared in several hit television shows including Parenthood, Queen Sugar, and The Blacklist. He reached critical acclaim when his song “To Leave Something Behind” was prominently featured in the Ben Affleck-starring film, The Accountant.
