FiddleStar

At the close of the #insideout tour, it seems only fair to share a photo that proves @clawhammerist and I actually played music instead of merely eating and buying shoes. We had a wonderful time playing tunes from our new album and even got to welcome a special guest, my dear friend Doug Fleener, at Abbie Weisenbloom’s awesome house concert in Portland. Thank you all for a wonderful week! #tourlife #oldtime #fiddle #banjo #clawhammer #fiddlebanjo (at Portland, Oregon)

And as we close out the very first #insideout tour, we leave you with a late discovery - @clawhammerist and my shared love for Ethiopian food. Plentiful and delicious in Vancouver and enjoyed with our dear friends Garry and Marilyn Stevenson. All the more delicious! #pnw #tourlife #roadfood (at Fassil Ethiopian Restaurant)

Since some of you asked… @clawhammerist and I could not leave without a new pair each. And yes, we understand if you all stage an intervention. #fluevog #insideout #pnw #canadianshoeshopping @fluevog (at John Fluevog Boots & Shoes LTD)

And then @clawhammerist and I did the thing we both love almost as much as we love eating food of all shapes. Shoe shopping. Hello lovely Fluevogs! And thanks to Jim for delightful service… #tourlife #pnw #canadianshoeshopping #fluevog #insideout (at John Fluevog Boots & Shoes LTD)

And then our hosts made us this for dinner’s first course. Buying this cookbook immediately. Ina Garten, you little minx… @clawhammerist #insideout #pnw #tourlife #roadfood #tartinitup (at Bellingham, Washington)

And then this sort of seemed like the middle of the road for @clawhammerist and me. Nutritious and delicious, with a hint of decadence. Road food strikes again. #tourlife #pnw #insideout #crepes #roadfood (at Magdalena’s)

I can’t speak to that activity specifically, but I did come up with a fairly comprehensive list of other things for which that bathroom is too filthy. #insideout #pnw #tourlife (at Roosevelt Shell)

The most paparazzi I will ever have… Here we have everyone recording the slow rendition of Whiteface from yesterday’s fiddle workshop. Huzzah! #feelingsuperfamous #insideout #fiddle #oldtime (at Dusty Strings Music)

Sitting by the fire on Bainbridge Island. Found Howard Marshall’s fabulous book on Missouri fiddlers and the opening quote was just too good not to share. #pnw #fiddle #insideout #fiddlebanjo #missourifiddling #missouri (at Bainbridge Island, Washington)

See I told you. Today was better, nutrition content wise. @clawhammerist #pho #fiddlebanjo #insideout #seattlelife #pnw (at Lucky’s Pho)
