This is the encore at the Ram’s Head Friday night, Lowen and Navarro<\/a>‘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:<\/p>\n<\/param><\/param><\/param><\/embed><\/object><\/center><\/p>\nEven though Navarro will continue to tour solo, the loss of their fine harmonies when performed together will be felt across the musical community.<\/p>\nThank you, Lowen and Navarro.
