Asculta! means "listen!" or "take heed!" That is what everyone should do to the new woodwind quintet in the Willamette Valley. We are a group of local professional musicians committed to the production of the best woodwind quintet chamber music available. While we are still getting established, our product is definitely something to "take heed" of!

The McG's feature the sensational teenage fiddler Hannah McGowan performing Celtic, old-time, bluegrass and Americana. Always lively, fun and danceable!

Nineteen-year-old Hannah McGowan has been playing violin since age five. Hannah also plays piano and flute and sings, too! She loves to tear into a good Irish jig but you'll love the way she puts on the waltz. With her classical background, Hannah adds a touch of class to her lively performance.

Hannah and Sean McGowan are a father-daughter duo who are quite popular in the Lane County, Oregon area.

This fiddle and guitar duo also employs Hannah's dad Sean McGowan. When not performing with his daughter, you'll see Sean performing with his upright bass and occasionally as a singer-songwriter.

Sean and Hannah have been performing together as The McG's since 2008.
