Nathaniel Rowan makes award-winning traditional and contemporary violins. Current players of his ground-breaking, contemporary work include Daryl Anger, Harry Bolick and Jake Blount. His banjos, and another contemporary fiddle can also be seen accompanying Clifftop multi-instrumentalist (and former Nate roommate), Brian Slattery.

As a boundary-pusher, Nathaniel’s story will resonate with artists of all mediums also looking to follow their dreams.
