Bill Evans and Megan Lynch, Since teaming up as a touring duo in 2008, Albany, CA and Nashville, TN bluegrass mainstays Bill Evans & Megan Lynch have been performing all around the United States and in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Spanning a thirty-five year professional performing career, banjo player and Banjo For Dummies author Bill Evans has performed with Dry Branch Fire Squad, Peter Rowan, David Grisman, Hazel Dickens, Laurie Lewis, Jody Stecher, Kathy Kallick, Bluegrass Intentions and his own Bill Evans String Summit. His two CDs "Native and Fine" (Rounder Records) and "Bill Evans Plays Banjo" (Native and Fine Records) topped critics' lists and the Bluegrass Unlimited charts. People know Nashville resident Megan Lynch from her National Championship fiddling credentials and from her performances with country and bluegrass luminaries Pam Tillis, 3 Fox Drive, Due West, Dale Ann Bradley, Tony Trischka, Chris Jones, Roland White and Jim Hurst. "As a platform for the talents of two accomplished bluegrass musicians (Evans wrote Banjo For Dummies; Lynch is a champion fiddler), "let's do something..." succeeds. But the real joys are less expected: weary and delicate vocals working in concert, Evans' patience and care with his banjo, and a haunting adaptation of Editors' post-punk song 'Fall.'"—Nate Seltenrich, East Bay Express, Oakland, CA, January 23, 2009. "This is a hugely exciting album! The singing's exquisite, the playing is completely masterly and tasteful (not a lick fiesta), the songwriting kills...intensely snazzy production, and it's fresh...really fresh. This music demands repeated listenings to catch all the nuances and to savor a brand new sound coming full-blown from two of today's most forward-thinking and accomplished acoustic musicians." —Tony Trischka, internationally acclaimed banjoist.
