Peter Rowan

Compass Records has announced the signing of Peter Rowan, the famed bluegrass singer-songwriter, GRAMMY Award winner and five-time GRAMMY Award nominee. He is heading to the studio to begin work on a new album. Alison Brown, GRAMMY Award winning banjoist and Compass Records co-founder, will produce. Peter Rowan’s career in bluegrass has spanned over five decades, from his early years playing under bluegrass patriarch Bill Monroe to his stint with Jerry Garcia in Old & In the Way, to his subsequent breakout as both a solo performer and bandleader. Rowan, through his continuous stream of original recordings, collaborative projects and constant touring, has a devoted international fanbase, including Compass Records’ co-founders Alison Brown & Garry West. Brown says “I can’t think of another person in bluegrass with such a varied history: Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys, Seatrain, Old & In the Way, not to mention the breadth of the solo material he’s written and recorded. With this new record, I’m really excited to be working with Peter to shine a light on his bluegrass roots.”
