About the Artist

When master fiddler Vassar Clements heard Mike Dowling play guitar way back in 1975, he did the sensible thing. He hired him. Clements calls him, “One of the finest guitar players there is, anywhere.” Before embarking on a solo performance career in 1995, Mike also worked and recorded with music legends Jethro Burns and jazz violin great Joe Venuti. He's been a frequent guest on public radio's “A Prairie Home Companion and in 2005 was one of a dozen acclaimed acoustic guitarists honored with a Grammy for their solo guitar contributions to “Henry Mancini Pink Guitar”.
