The Fiddler in Question:
Megan Lynch Chowning

Topic: Texas Style Fiddling Beyond The Contests

Recording Now Available. See Details Below!

Though she is now retired from competing in contests, Megan still holds a deep love for Texas style fiddling.  With her help, you will learn how various styles merged to form this unique genre of fiddling that goes well beyond the contest stage.

Originally from Redding, California, Megan is a seven time national fiddle champion, touring musician, recording artist, teacher, singer, and flatfooter. She recently finished a four year touring stint with legendary country music artists Pam Tillis and Lorrie Morgan, and has played with bluegrass stars Dale Ann Bradley, Roland White, Larry Cordle, Jim Hurst, Chris Jones, 3 Fox Drive, Due West, Chris Stuart, and BEML (the duo of Bill Evans and Megan). Megan has fiddled and sung on more than two dozen projects, and has released a series of entirely solo fiddle albums, focusing on crowdsourcing fabulous but slightly more obscure fiddle tunes. She has taught fiddle and vocals at prestigious camps such as Augusta Heritage Week, the British Columbia Bluegrass Workshop, Sore Fingers Bluegrass Week in the UK, Walker Creek Music Camp, and the California Bluegrass Association Camp, among many others. Megan has also judged the National Fiddle Championships three times, as well as many state championships throughout the country. She’s the co-director (with her husband, Adam) of the IBMA-award-winning Nashville Acoustic Camps.
