Touring Appalachian fiddle player, multi-instrumentalist and arranger with hundreds of recording credits, including work with Noah Kahan, Sam Barber, Zandi Holup and Jenna Paulette. I write and record hooks, solos, harmony parts and full fiddle arrangements from scratch, with clean mix-ready stems delivered remotely.
Philip Bowen is an Appalachian singer-songwriter, fiddle player and multi-instrumentalist from West Virginia with hundreds of recording credits across Americana, country, folk and roots music.
A lifelong fiddler who began playing at age four, Philip has developed a style that moves from traditional Appalachian playing to cinematic textures, melodic counterpoint, rock, country and modern Americana. His session work includes recordings with Noah Kahan, Sam Barber, Zandi Holup, Jenna Paulette and others.
As an artist, Philip has built an audience of more than 1.5 million followers, won TikTok’s Greatest Talent, reached the semifinals of America’s Got Talent Season 18 and performed on NPR’s Mountain Stage. His live career has included shows alongside artists such as Darius Rucker, 49 Winchester, Wyatt Flores and Charles Wesley Godwin.
For session work, Philip can take as much or as little creative direction as needed. Send a fully written part and he can execute it, or send a track and a reference and let him build the fiddle arrangement from the ground up.
Services include fiddle/violin tracking, hooks, counter-melodies, solos, layered harmonies, full-song arrangements, acoustic guitar, vocals, songwriting and arrangement help. Remote sessions are delivered as clean, high-quality stems ready for mix.

check_circleVerifiedThis is the Guy you want!!!- An unbelievable fiddle player, incredibly professional, super talented, top quality and such a nice man. It was a pleasure (and honor) to work with a Champion like Philip Bowen. Definitely coming back.!!!!
check_circleVerifiedPhilip was an absolute pleasure to work with. HIs turn-around time was very fast and he over delivered. HIs skills are nothing short of mastery and his feel and groove lifted the track to another level, thanks to Philip. I highly recommend Phillip. He is a rising star with a bullet for sure. Thanks again, Philip, for a great job!
