Rachel Baiman & Philip Bowen

Rachel Baiman grew up in Chicago and moved to Nashville at 18 to become a pro fiddle player. She released two solo albums, including the acclaimed 2023 LP Common Nation of Sorrow, noted for its political and personal songwriting. Philip Bowen, an Appalachian-born singer-songwriter, started playing fiddle at four and blends Appalachian folk with modern Americana. They shared the stage at The Ark for an evening of traditional and contemporary folk music. Tickets were $29, available online and by phone with fees included, but could also be bought fee-free in person at the venue.
