Born and raised in West Virginia, Philip Bowen’s uplifting sound is heavily inspired by his Appalachian roots. The dynamic singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist began playing fiddle at the age of four, and his virtuoso skills have become quite popular on TikTok, with over 8 million likes and 1 Million followers on the platform alone.
Bowen has been writing songs since he was a teenager, but never thought it would be possible to have a career in music. After earning an MBA from the University of Tampa, a friend encouraged him to create an account on TikTok and his fiddle covers and original songs took on a life of their own.
He continues to release his original music, spreading his message of positivity to an audience that has been growing rapidly. With guest spots on Ross Golan’s “And the demo is…” and praise from Yahoo, PopMatters, and Atwood Magazine, it’s easy to see why the Nashville Songwriters Association International dubbed this inspirational artist “one to watch”.

This is how I first discovered you, but goodNESS your gift and soul are so incredible. Thank you for keeping the heritage alive, and for sharing with us ❤
Lots of anticipation for the release of this one and it absolutely was everything that I hoped it would be! Gave me goosebumps! What a beautiful cover!
Where have you been hiding this one??? I adore this song...and your violin makes it ethereal! Beautifully done, Philip! Remember God's goodness in ALL you do...it is ALL because of Him!
I'm glad you did this song! The original MGMT video is not a visual I want to have so you've given me an alternative! Great job!!! Beautiful interpretation!
That smile! Made me grin. I was lookin for beginner fiddle licks... Im a 50 yr old clawhammer banjo player, and just bought a fiddle last week (on my bucket list to at least be somewhat proficient). Your lick is out of my wheelhouse, but man its pretty!
As someone who left the Appalachian and blue ridge mountains of West Virginia/Virginia for the flatlands of South Carolina, this song brings a tear to my eye.
I know i might be late to the game but I'm getting married in October and would love for this song to be my walk down song. is there somewhere i can download it by chance?
This takes me back to when I went to the Sorghum Festival with my great-grandmother as a kid. Too bad for no banjos. The kids feom my generation did the full Imperial March with 7 fidals, 4 banjos, a few mouth harps, a piano, and some guitars. It sounded pretty good.
