专辑简介

Early in 2015, Adam Hurt and Megan Lynch Chowning had an opportunity to play a couple tunes together at a camp where they were both instructors. Adam called a tune he had been interested in for a while, Tugboat, knowing that Megan was a National Champion “Texas style” fiddler and would be likely to play it, or at least be familiar with it. He had no idea it was one of her favorites and that she would be so excited to have that tune suggested by such an unlikely person, a champion clawhammer banjo player steeped in Appalachian styles. Megan's husband Adam and their friend Tyler Andal happened to be nearby and as they are both accomplished rhythm players in the Texas style, they were happy to jump in and add to the jam. It was a fantastic and exciting result. Both Adam Hurt and Megan realized in the that moment that they were likely creating a mashup of styles that needed more exploring. This album is the result of that exploration.
