Lowe Stokes was an old-time fiddler.
He was in a band formed in 1918 by fellow fiddler Clayton McMichen, one of the regular sidekicks of Lowe Stokes over the years.
This double-fiddle group evolved into Gid Tanner & the Skillet Lickers.
At one point Lowe was shot in the hand in a drunken altercation. A fellow fiddler in the outfit designed a special hook that allowed Stokes to hold his bow despite the injury.

He also worked in the group Seven Foot Dilly & His Dill Pickles, led by fellow North Georgia fiddler John Dilleshaw.
