FiddleStar

Spent the afternoon doing one of my favorite things - playing fiddle on good songs for people I like with people I like. @cjnightdrivers will have some new music out soon, is all I’m saying. Oh, and side note: you’ll observe that I added a @theviolinshop hat once it was time to put headphones on. No one wants 🎧 hair. #protip #bluegrass #waltzesforthewin (at Spring Hill, Tennessee)

Nashville Dobro Camp is the only one of its kind. Just 15 campers. In Nashville, TN. Ivan Rosenberg, Abbie Gardner, and Brandon Bostic. Some spots remain. June 22-24. Resophonic guitarists, we think you’re special. #dobro #resophonic #nashvilledobrocamp #nashville #dobrocamp #bluegrass #nashvilleacousticcamps (at Fiddlestar)

Hello Chicago. And also suburbs of Chicago. Possibly also parts of Indiana and definitely people passing through Chicago. I’m coming there to teach a couple of bluegrass fiddle workshops at The @oldtownschool and I would be delighted if you’d join me. These workshops are great for all levels except brand new beginners and are designed to help you succeed in real world jam situations. Bring your fiddle and your unending sense of wonder. #fiddle #bluegrass #workshop #jamming #improv #youcanbeafiddlestar (at Old Town School of Folk Music)

The neighbors got a new dog. Or at least that’s what I think it is. #theycallhimthestreak #sirwinstoncup #astudyingenerationalenergy (at Ridgetop, Tennessee)

Late last night #sirwinstoncup was sort of getting on my nerves so I punished him by making him look like both someone’s Russian grandmother and also E.T. in the bicycle basket. And then I took this picture. I showed him. #bostonterrier #bostonterriercult #dogmom (at Fiddlestar)

@mandolin2842 and I did all the requisite things (with help from @karlsmakula and his delightfully narcissistic egg designs) for the day and it was good. Also, I don’t know where we’d be without @jonweisberger and his decorative tweezers on demand service. #sugarcookies #legalizefrostitution #foodcoloringratios (at Belle Meade Plantation)

When one of your friends has had a rough go of it recently, one of you gets Thai food and the other brings a handsome and soothing Boston Terrier and you just hang out and listen to hipster cocktail party mix on the Bluetooth speakers and you tell the all the stories. #keepsmiling #keepshining #knowingyoucanalwayscountonme #forsure #youknowtherest #bostonterrier #bostonterriercult #fiddlechicks #mrrogers #tonyorlando (at Nashville, Tennessee)

A really special evening of excellent music in celebration of Anne Duffus’ birthday. You all know Anne Duffus. You remember, you met her at camp. Which camp? All of them. @openthedoorforthree is a damn good band and their fabulous fiddler, Liz, is one of Anne’s other fiddle teachers (there are three of us) and I really loved getting to meet her and hear her play. Happy birthday, Anne Duffus! 🎂💜🌈 #irishmusic #fiddle #anneduffus #piper (at Nashville, Tennessee)

Happy #tongueouttuesday from #sirwinstoncup! It’s a perfectly beautiful spring day and it seemed like a great time for a walk in the park. #bostonterrier #bostonterriercult #squishyfacecrew (at Ridgetop Station Walking Park)

Sound up. My grandson. #dancingcole #letsgetourrollon #headbangerbaby @annajchowning (at Orlinda, Tennessee)
