Look out; here comes the next generation! Insanely creative brother-sister fiddle duo Tashina & Tristan Clarridge may be young, but the fact that they both started fiddling practically before they could speak makes them seasoned musical veterans, relatively speaking.
Tristan is a 4 time Grand National Fiddle Champion, successfully achieving that title for three years consecutively, skipping a year, then winning his 4th. Who won the off year? His sister, of course. As a cellist, he tours internationally with Crooked Still, Darol Anger's Republic of Strings, and New Old Stock, and has appeared with Cape Breton Fiddle phenomenon Natalie MacMaster.
Tashina, the 2005 Grand National Fiddle Champion, has performed at Carnegie Hall as part of Grammy winning bassist Edgar Meyer's Young Artists program, and tours with Mark O'Connor.
Their shared musical rapport is as natural as it is magical. Their performances are absolutely true musical conversation, discussion, argument, and celebration, and pure fascination.
Together, the home-schooled pair have taught perhaps thousands of lessons and workshops and
for the past seven years have instructed at Mark O'Connor's String Conference in San Diego.
They have worked together as members of their own groups, in Darol Anger’s Republic Of Strings, and in banjo master Bill Evans’ String Summit.......................................................................................................................................................................................

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.
New pics, new videos and new LIVE tunes going up today! Let me know what you think! Sending some ATX (that's Austin Texas) love out to everyone. Ruby Jane
