Bill Nowlin

Founder of Rounder Records

Bill Nowlin 5: We grew out of this scene that was here, and that probably wouldn’t have happened if we were someplace that was less fertile, let active, and simply didn’t have this music. We just had this array of Cajun musicians, bluegrass, blues musicians, folk singers, gospel singers, all kinds of stuff, some of which was not that great, but enough of which was pretty inspirational to us.
