Evan McGregor – Fiddle and Vocals
Born in Dayton, Ohio, and a graduate of
Chaminade-Julienne High School, fiddler and vocalist, Evan McGregor,
currently calls Brookville, Ohio home. This is where he owns and
operates Oscar Fish Studio, a professional music, production and
recording company. Evan comes from a family of five, including his
father, Larry, mother, Beverly, older brother, Mark, who is a writer
at the Dayton Daily News, and a twin sister, Amanda. His family has
been very supportive of his musical endeavors.
Evan has been playing Bluegrass since 1994 and
been a member of a number of regional and national acts since his
career started, including Reynolds and Rife Revue,
Jesse Branham-Two Shoes Band, God’s Country,
Kentucky Heritage, Simple Tymes,
Dayle Eskridge and Changing Times, the Wildwood Valley
Boys, the Aubrey Holt Show, Blue Tradition,
who won the Kentucky State Bluegrass Band Championship in 2005 and
2006, the Country Sounds
Show and the James King Band. He’s placed in
several regional fiddle contests since 1994. Although his Bluegrass
experience is extensive, his musical talents began forming during 3rd
grade piano lessons and classical violin lessons the following year.
Bluegrass became his preference because it “is a
very organic form of music. Acoustic instruments and vocals are the
tools to help us discover the deepest parts of our soul. Basic human
emotion, allows me to connect to such a ‘natural’ genre of music.”
He credits numerous musicians as influential,
including Mark O’Connor, Bobby Hicks, Kenny Baker, Bill Monroe, Ralph
and Carter Stanley, Curly Ray Cline, Gerald Evans, Aubrey Holt, Vassar
Clements, Bob Wills and Jaco Pastorius.
After hearing Evan’s work on a 2006 recording by
the Wildwood Valley Boys, Joe Mullins contacted Evan
regarding a spot in the Radio Ramblers. While playing
local venues as a member of different regional bands, Evan had become
acquainted with Mike Terry and Adam McIntosh. He enjoys “the
camaraderie and the always-positive attitude of each bandmember,” as
well as “the opportunity to play good quality music.” As a live
performer, Evan’s thankful for “the opportunity to go out on the stage
and hopefully play something that moves someone spiritually or
emotionally. If I can accomplish that for just one person, I have
achieved my goal.”
