   About Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper
Award-winning fiddler Michael Cleveland brings his dynamic traditional bluegrass to the stage with his band, Flamekeeper, in a show that will leave the audience talking. A five-time winner of the International Bluegrass Music Association's Fiddle Player of the Year award, Mike and his talented band present a program of tight vocal trios and duos, blistering instrumentals, and fiddle-and-banjo duets that echo the first-generation stars of bluegrass. The show is rounded out with Mike's dry wit and the band's sense of fun. Considered one of the premier bluegrass fiddlers of his generation, Mike picked up a fiddle at age four, and his talent was recognized early. In 1993 he was chosen to be part of the Bluegrass Youth All Stars at the IBMA's award show. Later that year, Mike made his Grand Ole Opry debut as a guest of Alison Krauss. His list of guest appearances over the years is a who's who of bluegrass legends including Bill Monroe, Jim and Jesse, Ralph Stanley, Mac Wiseman, Doc Watson, Larry Sparks, Doyle Lawson, and J.D. Crowe. After high school, Mike briefly toured with then-named Dale Ann Bradley and Coon Creek before joining Rhonda Vincent & The Rage in 2000. At the 2001 IBMA awards, Mike took his first Fiddle Player of the Year award, and shared the title of Entertainer of the Year with Rhonda Vincent & The Rage. In 2002 Mike rejoined the Dale Ann Bradley Band. That year he won Fiddle Player of the Year and garnered the accolade yet again in 2004. Mike's first project as a Rounder recording artist, "Flame Keeper" was released in February 2002 and was chosen as the IBMA's Album of the Year. In 2004, Mike shared the Instrumental Album of the Year award with Tom Adams for "Tom Adams and Michael Cleveland Live at the Ragged Edge", an album of fiddle and banjo duets. In 2006 and 2007, Mike took home his fourth and fifth Fiddle Player of the Year awards. Today Mike is a sought-after fiddler and has performed recently with Vince Gill, Marty Stuart, The Mark Newton Band, J.D. Crowe and the New South, Audie Blaylock and Redline, and Melvin goins and Windy Mountain. His credits include the 2005 Grammy-nominated "A Tribute To Jimmy Martin: The King Of Bluegrass" and a 2003 Grammy winner, Jimmy Sturr's "Let's Polka Around".
