About Schooner Fare: The traditional songs of the sea continue to be revived through the exuberant, harmony-filled, performances and recordings of Schooner Fare. But, in the more than two decades the Maine-based trio have consistently expanded their musical scope. Their current repertoire reflects a lively mixture of folk songs, pop tunes and original songs including "We The People," "Portland Town" and "Leviathan." Schooner Fare's latest albums include a winter season tribute, Home For The Holidays, released in 1987, with songs sung in Hebrew, French, German and Spanish. KidSongs, released ten years later, aims at the younger set with such tunes as "Bonnie Heeland Laddie," "The Rattlin" Bog" and "A Cat Named Patrick Finnegan."

Initially conceived as a brother duet by guitar and banjo players and vocalists Chuck and Steve Romanoff during a backstage picking session. With the addition of Tom Rowe on electric bass, pennywhistle and vocals, the group was expanded to its present line-up.

Performing weekly at Holy Mackerel in Portland, Maine and in folk music coffeehouses throughout the Northeast, Schooner Fare continued to develop their sound. Releasing their debut album, Day Of The Clipper, in 1978, Schooner Fare had its first success with their third recording, Alive, released in 1983, which captured the excitement of their concerts. We The People, released two years later, established Schooner Fare as a national touring folk act. Schooner Fare celebrated its tenth anniversary, in 1986, with a second live album, The First Ten Years, recorded during performances at the Birchmere in Alexandria, Virginia. Classic, released the following year, featured Schooner Fare's best-known tunes to the arrangements of Michael Braz and played with a small orchestra. Although they released their weakest album, Signs Of Home, in 1990, Schooner Fare rebounded with For The Times, released in 1983 and featuring six original tunes including "Too Funky For The Folkies (But Too Folksy For The Time )" and "The Broome O'The Cowdenknowes." Schooner Fare continued their streak with Finnegan's Wake, released in 1995, successfully returning to the traditional repertoire of their earliest shows twenty years earlier.
