You Can be a FiddleStar

I post things about fiddling. And how we can all be better at it.

<p>I spent Mother’s Day with my mom. I think you all already know how I feel about her. And I try to make sure she always knows. #mothersday #mymomcanwalkfasterthanyourmom #mur  (at John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge)</p>

<p>Inspired collaborations all night at the @folkfightsback event this evening. Sally and George with Melody and Rachel were all the Wild Tiger Style I could possibly hope for. #folk #folkfightsback #betterbalance #nashville  (at The Family Wash/Garage Coffee)</p>

<p>@folkfightsback presented an incredible show tonight at the @familywash in Nashville. Even if solo @molly_tuttle was the only thing on it would have been amazing. But that wasn’t all… #folk #folkfightsback #betterbalance  (at The Family Wash/Garage Coffee)</p>

<p>These last two nights have been some of my favorite camp nights, maybe ever. Tonight we brought in @brandonbostic and @kennyandamandas to sing while the campers worked on implementing all the things they learned throughout the day from @cleliahart and @deanier and @nateleellc and me. Fills, breaks, chords, chopping, when and how to play for a singer, and all those fun things. Most of them swore up and down that they couldn’t do it. But they did it. And I cried a little, if I’m being honest. It takes a lot of nerve and I admire each and every one of them. #fiddlestarcamp #fiddlestar #fiddle #bluegrass #jamming  (at Fiddlestar)</p>

<p>And so it begins… #fiddlestar #fiddlestarcamp We took the “special guest” portion of the opening night jam to another level tonight… We’re beside ourselves with the appearances of @rossholmesfiddle and @webanjo3 members David and Martin, not to mention the incredible Kiana, recently of Gaelic Storm. Tunes were had. Memories were made. Songs were written. #fiddle #fiddlecamp #irishtunes #oldtime #bluegrass (at Fiddlestar)</p>

<p>This was, quite simply, one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen and heard at the Station Inn. #bassandfeet #nashville #haaskowerttice #nicgareiss (at Station Inn)</p>

<p>Getting ready to yell obscenities at the #nyrangers and get mildly excited about the #ottawasenators We hate the Rangers. We love the Penguins. We are Penguins fans. We also love the #preds because #nashville but mostly we just love hockey. And I am talking about #sirwinstoncup and me. Adam is rather indifferent about it all. (at Fiddlestar)</p>

I am excited to embark on a new chapter of my working life - I recently gave my notice to the Pam Tillis organization and will no longer be touring with her or Lorrie Morgan (on their awesome Grits and Glamour Tour). I must admit, I'm sad to be leaving. It's been an incredible four years and I have learned so much. Thanks to Pam, her amazing husband/manager Matt Spicher, and my bandmates, especially the lovely and talented Mary Sue Englund, with whom I spent more time over the last few years than I did with my husband. And I wouldn't trade a minute of it...
