Adam Chowning and Megan Lynch Chowning have been teaching and performing as traditional musicians for decades. This is their first album together and they have chosen to play classic old time fiddle and banjo duets, much the same way they do around the house with their dog Winston at their feet. The following is Adam's fancy bio. Megan's schmancy bio follows just after. Many people know Adam Chowning, but they don't always know everything he's done. He's quiet about his accomplishments but they are many. He's won and placed in guitar contests all over the Southeast, including the Kentucky State Championships, the Athens Fiddlers Convention and the Adams and White House Flatpick Contests and has toured with country and rock stars, including American Idol favorite Bo Bice. He's also the 2014 Tennessee State Old Time Banjo Champion. But he's not just a great player. Adam has built and repaired guitars for famous people and weekend warriors alike. His craftsmanship on both acoustic and electric guitars is revered around the country. He restores classic guitars and builds new guitars that sound like the classics. As an educator, Adam is known as one of the most versatile and well-rounded teachers in Middle Tennessee. He teaches all styles of acoustic and electric guitar and many of his students are award-winning and professional players. In addition to his busy home studio, Adam has recently branched out to teaching lessons to people all over the world via Skype. Adam's latest venture is an exclusive, semi-annual flatpicking camp just north of Nashville, which features instructors like Bryan Sutton, Kenny Smith, and Brad Davis. Megan Lynch Chowning, originally from Redding, California, 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 a new CD out called Something Old, New, Borrowed, Blue. She has taught fiddle at prestigious camps such as Augusta Heritage Week, the British Columbia Bluegrass Workshop, Sore Fingers Bluegrass Week in the UK, 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 director of her own FiddleStar Youth and Adult Fiddle Camps. But sometimes she just likes to sit quietly and smell the flowers.
