Bio from alexhargreaves.net:
With an open minded enthusiasm for all varieties of string music, both traditional and modern, folk and classical, Alex Hargreaves pursues his musical education with teachers of all different styles, including Matt Glaser, Mike Marshall, Darol Anger, David Grisman, Mark O'Connor, Christian Howes, Johnny Gimble, Paul Anastasio, and Bruce Molsky. Alex is also an active performer playing in venues around the country ranging from Wintergrass Festival in Seattle, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in San Francisco, Rockygrass, and the International Bluegrass Music Association in Nashville. Although his main instrument is violin, he is a multi-instrumentalist, playing mandolin, piano and guitar.
In 2007, Alex was the youngest ever to win the Grand Champion division at the National Oldtime Fiddlers' Contest in Weiser, Idaho. In 2005, 2006 and 2007, Alex won the Championship Division of the Oregon Oldtime Fiddlers Contest. In June, 2006, Alex won the Junior Division (ages 17 and under) at the National Oldtime Fiddlers’ Contest in Weiser, Idaho.
Alex has performed with David Grisman, Mark O'Connor, Chris Thile, Sean & Sara Watkins, Tim O'Brien, Darol Anger, and Mike Marshall. Other musicians and bands he has shared the stage with include Old School Freight Train, Christian Howes, David Bromberg, Laurie Lewis, Tom Rozum, Joe Craven, Country Current, Noam Pikelny, Danny Barnes, Bill Evans (banjo player), The Greencards, Chris Eldridge, Billy Contreras, Jeremy Kittel, Rushad Eggleston, Randy Elmore, Brittany Haas, Crooked Still, Uncle Earl, Hanneke Cassel and Tristan & Tashina Clarridge.
In August, 2005, Alex was awarded the Daniel Pearl Memorial Violin at the Mark O'Connor String Conference in San Diego. Built by master violin maker Jonathan Cooper, the instrument honors the memory of slain journalist Daniel Pearl. Each year, the violin is awarded to a young musician to play for one year. In this way, the violin, the musicians, and the music will continue, year after year, to inspire Daniel Pearl's eternal dream of peace, harmony, and cultural understanding.
In 2007, Alex was awarded a Belle Foundation Cultural Development grant for his musical achievements. In addition, he was chosen for an Alternative Styles Award from the American Strings Teachers Association (ASTA) and invited to perform at their annual convention in Detroit, Michigan.

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
