ROW by Dawn Landes
ROW is a concept album about the true-life journey of Tori Murden McClure, the first woman to row solo across the Atlantic Ocean.
Landes teamed up with Broadway veterans Daniel Goldstein, Mary-Mitchell Campbell and Tyne Rafaeli to create ROW, a piece of musical theater seven years in the making that was scheduled to premiere summer 2020 at Williamstown Theater Festival but was postponed due to the pandemic. Based on Tori Murden McClure’s bestselling memoir, “A Pearl in the Storm”, the concept album ROW features eight singers from Louisville, KY (Will Oldham, Ben Sollee and more) - the hometown of both Landes and McClure.
