John Rowe 'Retiring Age'

John Rowe’s sophomore release builds on the high quality songwriting and knack for storytelling established on his debut.


‘Retiring Age’ sees John take a more contemplative approach without losing that raw country edge that signifies his sound. This dynamic can be heard in the song ‘Dolce’, which builds from a gentle finger-picked introduction into a triumphant chorus.


Listening to John Rowe is like taking a long drive with an old friend: it doesn’t matter where you’re going, as long as you’re travelling together. His music whips through your hair like the wind down a long stretch of sun-drenched desert highway.


Combining country, rock, pop and blues, with John’s warm vocals and unforgettable lyrics, ‘Retiring Age’ is the essential second record to complete any music-lover’s collection.
