I have been heavily influenced by the guys I've traveled with or befriended on the road so far. I wouldn't be where I am without everyone helping me along the way!
Thanks for checking out my profile! I am a musician from Falmouth, KY. I have been playing my primary instrument, the fiddle, since I was 10-years-old. I started out playing in square dance halls around the Northern Kentucky area. I progressed and started playing with bands around the Cincinnati, tri-state area.
I have had 6 official teachers: Blanche Coldiron (Old-time instrumentalist and Kentucky Country Music Hall of Fame member from Eastern Kentucky who travelled with Asa Martin and the Kentucky Hillbillies), Jeff Guernsey (Former fiddler for Steve Warner and Vince Gill), Daniel Carwile (Grand Master Fiddle Champion, nashville studio musician), Christina Harke-Towell (IU and CCM graduate, violin teacher at Morehead State University), Paul Patterson (CCM graduate, and Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra Violinist), and Glenn Ginn (CCM and North Texas University graduate, jazz guitar proffessor at Morehead State University). My unofficial teacher for many years was Harold Zimmerman, an old-time fiddler from Northern Kentucky.
I currently live in Nashville, TN, pursuing my music career. Aside of playing, I am studying violin repair and setup and teaching privately.
I have performed with numerous bluegrass bands (The Comet Bluegrass Allstars, The Side Porch Gang, Steve Bonafel and One Iota, and Jenny Lynn), western swing and classic country bands (The New Radio Cowboys), a gypsy jazz quartet (Sasha Strunjas), and a contemporary christian band. I have also performed solo at churches, funerals, and community functions. I have performed with bands such as Melvin Goins & Windy Mountain, The Wildwood Valley Boys, Don Rigsby & Midnight Call, Wildfire, Blue Moon Rising, Tim Graves & Cherokee, The Karl Shiflett & Big Country Show, Dave Peterson & 1946, NewFound Road, and Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver.
Currently I play with Dale Ann Bradley (2007 and 2008 IBMA Female Vocalist of the Year). Be sure to check out our schedule on the website (www.daleann.com).
