It was inevitable they'd find each other. Adam Hurt won a bunch of banjo contests east of the Mississippi and then began a successful touring career. He parlayed that into a reputation as a teacher of epic proportions. Megan Lynch Chowning won a whole mess of fiddle contests west of the Mississippi (and three or four on the East side for good measure), began a touring career that spanned genres and decades, and then became the kind of teacher that students travel thousands of miles to see. Adam and Megan have always been two sides of the same coin.
Megan is a master of bluegrass and Texas style and Adam is known mostly for his innovative interpretations of old time music. As scholars of their instruments and traditional music in general, they knew that when they met and started playing music together, the divide between their genres was smaller than their ability to bridge that gap.
Adam Hurt and Megan Lynch Chowning had heard of one another for years, mostly from their students and fans who thought they'd make a great musical match and kept saying, "wouldn't it be great if", in regards to their meeting and making music. It has finally happened and the result is as good as all those well-wishers had hoped. As their music develops and grows, it will be interesting to see not if, but how they will manifest becoming greater than the sum of their parts.
Adam Hurt and Megan Lynch Chowning are making great music together - old sounds in new songs, and new sounds in old ones. It was inevitable.
