Bill Evans and Megan Lynch

About Me

World-renowned California bluegrass banjo player (and author of Banjo For Dummies) Bill Evans (Dry Branch Fire Squad, David Grisman, Peter Rowan) and six-time National Champion Nashville fiddler Megan Lynch (Pam Tillis, 3 Fox Drive, Jim Hurst) blend tradition and innovation, mixing original instrumentals with creative interpretations of modern tunes and a few well-chosen standards. Fast banjo and fiddle duets? Most definitely! But you’ll also be surprised at how well these celebrated bluegrass sidepersons blend their voices on bluegrass, folk and swing material from such diverse sources as Rose Maddox and Ralph Stanley to Van Morrison and John Gorka. Megan and Bill are much in-demand teachers, having taught at the American Banjo Camp, Puget Sound Guitar Workshop and the British Columbia Bluegrass Workshop, to name just a few!

Post UK Malaise

We’re home now. I’m home in Tennessee and Bill is home in California or at least that’s what he says and who am I to argue? We finished the UK tour by playing another show in London ...

Now then...

"Now then..." That’s the standard greeting in the North Yorkshire area. It encompasses everything from "how are you" to "see you around". And probably all the rest in between. I feel like it...

Studios and hot water heaters

So we've been recording this week. And what started out to be thoughts of a decent demo have, as per usual, morphed into grand ambitions of a record. Which is just dandy. Because we're now in the c...

The Impending Apocalypse

Keely Smith just sang a duet with Kid Rock. This was on the formerly sensical Grammy Awards. I've been looking around for the 4 Horsemen.

Super-cell Tuesday

There is a new trend in weather coverage. There is all manner of new tornado terminology that gets bandied about when storms gather. It's kind of annoying. What is "tornadic behavior"? A lot of pe...
