Bobby Bowlin on SoundBetter

I've played fiddle for 30 years and have been in the studio for 25 of those. I've worked on countless records from bluegrass to metal projects. I have a degree in Commercial Music from South Plains College (Levelland, TX) and a Studio Engineering degree from The Blackbird Academy (Nashville, TN).

The $100 charge includes 4 full passes of the song and 4 unique solos if needed. If you have a specific part you want me to play, just send a recording of any instrument playing the part and I'll match it note for note, within the capabilities of the instrument. I play fiddle, so please no orchestral pieces. There are many people out there more qualified and experienced in that category. Same instrument, completely different approach, technique and playing style. If I'm not on the road or in the studio I can usually turn the tracks around in just a few hours.

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.

    Fantastic sounding tracks!! Playing AND recordings sounded awesome - I am super happy with the results and will undoubtedly hire Bobby again (if he'll have me ;) Turnaround time was remarkable quick as well. Thanks again!

    Absolute perfection! The passes and pads were so much better than I imagined they could be. He elevated the song to a different level. Bobby is a fast-working professional who nails the concept.

    Bobby composed and performed four takes of delicious fiddle goodness for an original country song. Plays like he was born with a fiddle in his hand.

    Bobby whipped up 4 great fiddle stems for my original song. Each one had it's own lovely flavor, making the decision hard but very enjoyable. Really a pleasure working with Bobby - total pro. Great musician!

    Bobby Bowlin has worked magic again for us with his fiddling. He has turned our song into a very special beautiful composition with his own idea of giving the violin it's own voice. This worked for us straight away. Bobby was in touch with us to find out if we were happy with this idea beforehand. When we listened to his high quality mix for the first time we couldn't believe that it was the same song! It brought it into a higher league of music. Thanks Bobby! We'll be in touch again soon!

    Bobby took on our project in an especially friendly and uncomplicated manner. Alle of his ideas / takes turned out to be magic! Exactly how we'd imagined the song to be interpreted. With Bobby you definitely get exactly the music you want! We are getting the next projects ready for him already!

    I'm glad that I found out about Bobby Bowlin. The whole process was smooth and easy and I'm very pleased with the tracks that Bobby sent back to me.His playing was top notch and he gave me a good variety of tracks to choose from. One thing that I really appreciated was that the first solo was tastefully restrained and each solo after that he let out a little more. That was a thoughtful approach and gave me options for how far I wanted the solo to go.I highly recommend Bobby.

    Fast turnaround, as needed. Brings a fiddle that could've met the devil down in Georgia. Awesome!

    Bobby did a great job playing some fiddle for me. He grasped what I was looking for and had really good intuition. Good communicator too. His fiddle playing and tone were excellent. I plan to ask Bobby to work on future projects.
