About Richie’s Rowe’s Celebration of Life:

Richie Rowe was a very influential figure in the Missoula music scene. From bartending and running sound at the legendary Missoula venue, Jay’s Upstairs, to being a member of some of Missoula’s most badass bands, Richie’s influence on Missoula and the people that knew him will be felt for years. 

On Saturday, November 8, we are having a show at The Wilma Theater to celebrate his impact. The Richie Rowe Show will incorporate members of many of his ex-bandmates from local legends like The Sputniks, The Disappointments, Blood Factor 5, The Selsun Blues and Velvet Handlebars. All playing songs that either Richie wrote, co-wrote, or was influential on.

A conglomeration of these musicians will play together in a band named “Jef Leppard and the Pleasure Seekers” to give Richie the send off he deserves.

Admission is free, donations will be accepted to help cover the costs of the event.

This will not be a boring event, it is intended to be something Richie would want to attend. And those events were rarely boring. Please come, bring your friends and see the epic bands that helped make Missoula what it is, in celebration of the life of Richie Rowe.
