Bio
M'Gilvry Allen is a fiddler, multi-instrumentalist, and producer from Southern Oregon. He began playing fiddle at age four and draws deeply from Celtic and Old-Time traditions. As a solo performer he uses a looper and a range of instruments to build music in real time—weaving original tunes, traditional songs, and improvised soundscapes into sets that can carry a room from quiet intimacy to full-bodied dance.

Tech rider (solo set)
I play all my instruments (fiddle, guitar, looper vocals) through a pedalboard + looper that sub-mixes everything down to a single input. This can be taken 1/4″ from one of the looper outputs, or XLR from my Fishman amp, which I use for on-stage monitoring.
I also play a stomp pedal, which comes out 1/4″ or XLR.
I need:
- 1 vocal mic with mic stand
- 1 additional mic stand with a 58 clip for my looper mic
- 2 power outlets near the front of the stage
- 1 power outlet near the back of the stage
(3 power outlets total. If the stage is small, one power strip for everything is fine.)
A rug is nice, and makes the kick pedal sound better.
