THE FIDDLER—Alex DePue Alex DePue began taking classical violin lessons at age five. He won his first major competition at age 10, and later (age 16) won a competition that entitled him to perform at Carnegie Hall with the National Guild Youth Orchestra under the direction of Joseph Silverstein. He has continued to win competitions and appear as a guest soloist with orchestras and at festivals worldwide. Despite his classical training, Alex became interested in fiddling at age seven, and began competing in old-time fiddle contests at the age of 12. He reigned as the Michigan State Fiddling Champion from 1994-1998; won the first-place trophy at the Walnut Valley National Fiddling Championship in Winfield, Kansas in 1999 and 2005; won first place in the Halletsville, TX “Gone to Texas National Fiddling Championship” in 2000; won first place in the Alabama state fiddle contest in 2006 and 2007; and won first place in the California state fiddle contest in 2007. He has been ranked among the top 10 fiddlers in the nation at the Grand Masters Fiddling Championship (Nashville, TN). In 2005, Alex placed fourth at the GMFC. Alex served as a judge at the National Oldtime Fiddling Championship (Weiser, ID) in 2008. Alex toured with Capitol Recording artist Chris Cagle from 2000-2006, with whom he regularly appeared on the Grand Ole Opry, Country Music Television, Great American Country, and VH1 Country. Alex joined legendary rock guitarist Steve Vai for a 2007 world tour that took him across North America, South America, and Europe. Alex’s YouTube (www.youtube.com) videos are from all parts of the globe, and his 1 YouTube hit, 'Owner of a Lonely Heart' (originally recorded by the 80's rock band, Yes) has been viewed worldwide over a million times. Alex recently teamed up with Mexican guitarist Miguel De Hoyos. Their unique international sound has been praised by elected Mexico officials in B.C. South, MX and their spectacular musical performances are being extolled by popular English-written Mexican publications such as the Gringo Gazette and the Baja Times. Alex and Miguel recently released their first recording 'Underground Whispers in A'. In addition to performing, Alex is a published composer and arranger of music. Alex has a self-produced CD available which features pieces he arranged and/or composed. In addition to his own CD, he has produced recordings for other singers and instruments, and records sessions in his off time from tours. With his brothers, Alex played on the soundtrack for the Philadelphia Orchestra documentary, “Music from the Inside Out”. Alex also composed one of the pieces recorded for the documentary. With a background in both classical violin and fiddling, and an ability to play not only the violin but also the viola, mandolin, guitar, double bass, percussion, and piano, Alex is an artist that can produce any style of music.

The “Underground Whispers” CD is excellent. As always your playing is incredible and refreshingly original. Not only do you have endless chops coming out of your ears, you have once again raised the bar in terms of what a violin can do. I've never heard comping like that on the violin. You have furthered the technique of what I will term “rhythm violin”, emphasizing the word "Rhythm" With your incredible skill, you and Miguel with brilliant arrangements make enough music for four or five people. It's no wonder that Steve Vai chose you to be his violin player. Like him, you are a “trailblazer”. You continue to blaze a path while being an inspiration to young fiddlers and violinist around the world. I am so glad I got to catch the impromptu show in Maumee, Ohio.

I did a session the other day and I started playing your Owner of a Lonely Heart deal. The drummer that was there popped his head around the corner and said, "You know Alex?" I said "no, but I've become quite the fan through Myspace". He then said you roomed and played together in Nashville. John Stacey I believe was his name. Anyways, John says hey! You rock by the way!
