When one of your oldest and dearest friends gets the job as orchestra leader for Adele and her mom and your mom and your aunt all come to Nashville to see one of the greatest concerts of all time… #fiddlechicks #nashville #adele #practicepaysoff (at Bridgestone Arena)

And then last night… (it’s just getting ridiculous now, I realize) I got to play a couple of tunes in the Kenny Baker Tribute show organized by @brianosonfun and hosted by @stationinnnashville Triple fiddle with two of my best friends and incredible musicians @chessboxermusic and @tylerandal and tasteful mandolin from my friend @thecampbellgram and then no big deal, Russ Barenberg and Alan O'Bryant and seriously, I’m overwhelmed. What a town… #nashville #fiddle #kennybaker #stationinn #embarrassmentofriches (at Station Inn)

Another first - after years of friendship and shared road experiences @faris.guitar.dude and I finally got to sing together on stage and it was a blast. @specialconsensus is like the band I would want to be in if they’d ever consider having more than four members and if I ever wanted to actually be in a band. Thanks guys. #specialc #stationinn #nashville #bluegrass #fiddle (at The World Famous Station Inn)

Three Grand Masters Fiddler Champions and their excellent moms. These are the best kind of fiddle moms. These moms were not pushy, mean, or negative. They did not force us to wear (very many) outfits we now regret. They did not force us on unsuspecting musicians, strangers, or industry professionals. They encouraged us, drove us places, made sure we heard all kinds of amazing music, and always stayed honest with us. And now we all three have careers in music and we all still adore our moms. #doingitright #fiddlemoms #nashville (at City Winery Nashville)

So many of you (that’s not true) ask about my ongoing video series of my mom dancing in random places around the globe. It’s your lucky day! Last night we went to see Chris Stapleton at the Ascend Amphitheater and she was really enamored with Morgane’s singing and especially her tambourine skills so she thought she’d try to learn. But without a tambourine. #airtambourine #chrisstapleton #motherdaughterroadtrip #morganemadness (at Ascend Amphitheater)

@specialconsensus throwing down some Fireball on FaceBook Live with special guests @alisononbanjo and Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley. And hey, there’s that damn camel… #bluegrass #specialc #nashville (at Compass Records)

Today in meta walking… #bostonterrier #bostonterriercult @bobs_skechers #sirwinstoncup (at Ridgetop, Tennessee)

I can’t believe I forgot to post this last week. I’m clearly suffering from bluegrass camp brain. But I definitely went to @zollikoffee last week to celebrate the return of #gilmoregirls on @netflix Luke’s looked a little different than I remember and I’m pretty sure Luke wouldn’t have made me a chai latte with almond milk but it was fun either way. November can’t come soon enough… #nashville #gilmoregirlsrevival (at ZolliKoffee)

Going home. #customerservice #chilliwackfiredept #peetscoffeeisbetter #walkercreekmusiccamp (at Oakland International Airport)
