The great one, our friend Ralph Towner has passed.

‘Dolomiti Dance’ - Ralph Towner, recorded Sunday, February 19th, 2017 at Martyrs’ in Chicago.

Ralph first graced our stage with his group Oregon on Saturday, February 14th, 1998. Over the past 28 years, Ralph became a friend, mentor, and one of our single biggest musical inspirations. He will be missed, he will be remembered!

Rest In Peace Maestro!
