Originally from Redding, California, Megan Lynch Chowning is a seven-time national fiddle champion, touring musician, Grammy-nominated recording artist (for her participation in the John Hartford Fiddle Tune Project), teacher, singer, and flatfooter. She spent four years touring 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 (her duo with Bill Evans).

Megan has fiddled and sung on dozens of projects and released a series of entirely solo fiddle albums, focusing on crowdsourcing fabulous but slightly 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 through the country. She's the co-director (with her husband, Adam) of the IBMA-award-winning Nashville Acoustic Camps.
