Eric Lowen and Dan Navarro concluded the performing portion of their musical partnership of more than 25 years this weekend with concerts in Annapolis and Alexandria. Lowen was diagnosed with ALS five years ago and this year he decided the disease had compromised his ability to sing and play too much to want to continue.

This is the encore at the Ram’s Head Friday night, Lowen and Navarro‘s penultimate performance. You might recognize the song, “We Belong,” which they wrote and which Pat Benatar made a hit (and a Grammy nominee) of in 1984:

Even though Navarro will continue to tour solo, the loss of their fine harmonies when performed together will be felt across the musical community.

Thank you, Lowen and Navarro. We have enjoyed your music immensely.
