For Eric Lowen and Dan Navarro, the road is home, the stage is the runway and the studio the garden. Songs of loss and change, hope and acceptance, fear and deliverance color their seven studio albums. Voices locked in synchro-step weaving in and out of the flow, telling stories of real lives in the balance. The connections between singer and song, between audience and stage melt into a rich brew that brings them deeper into the heart of the matter and that much closer to the fire in the hearts of their people. There is no road too long that their people don't travel far and wide to see and hear them. As it has been for over twenty years, it still is today.

Originally Lowen & Navarro made a name for themselves writing for other singers, including Pat Benatar with the 1984 hit “We Belong”, the Bangles, the Four Tops, the Temptations and Dave Edmunds. With their blend of acoustic guitars and stunning vocal harmonies they deliver dynamic, emotional, uplifting performances to fiercely loyal audiences for over 21 years.

Presently centered in the crosshairs is their newest release, "Learning To Fall". Seen through the lens of the realizations that come with living some of our dreams, releasing those that may never come to pass, and dealing with the acceptance of now as the only reality. The pattern of wanting and waiting, balanced with holding on and letting go, informs all the songs on "Learning To Fall" and makes them the truest, while sometimes most stark, expressions L&N have ever put on disk.

Much of what is said is seen through the filter of ALS, the neuromuscular disease contracted by Eric Lowen in 2003. His realizations have been revelatory, without moroseness or rage, nor precious sentiment, but are rather the simple statements of life lived at the crux.
