You Can be a FiddleStar
I post things about fiddling. And how we can all be better at it.
Happy times at #clifftop this weekend - good friends, good music… #oldtime #westvirginia (at Clifftop Appalachian String Band Festival)
Yet another #adamsfamily rears its head at #clifftop this year. Adam from Pisgah Banjos, @clawhammerist and of course my dear husband. So much banjo love here… (at Clifftop Appalachian String Band Festival)
Cowgirl hat giveaway day at @sfgiants game. Obvs. The ladies lookin fly. #mymomrocks #aunthottie #attpark (at AT&T Park)
My @krogerco got all jacked up. It has an olive bar, people. An olive bar! And @cowgirlcreamery cheese and I just don’t even know what to do with myself. Later Green Hills, you ain’t gonna be seeing me again for a while… (at Kroger)
#tbt to 1962 when legendary author Aldous Huxley came to speak at my mother’s high school in Hayward, CA. That’s my mother (looking adorably like Peggy from Mad Men) directly behind Mr. Huxley. She covered his visit for the school newspaper. #bravenewworld #huxley #haywardhigh (at Hayward, CA)
Hello my fabulous #fiddle friends! Please take advantage of this thing here. This awesome opportunity will not come again soon. #dontmissout #fiddlegoals (at The Violin Shop)
So grateful to @daddarioandco for the awesome micro tuners - we were able to give both violin and guitar tuners to every single #fiddlestar camper this year due to their generosity. Tuning rules! #fiddle #banjo #mandolin #guitar (at Fiddlestar Camps)
Most of you know that we hosted a 70th birthday party for my mom earlier this month. Here’s a photo of her breaking into my car using the hatchback because @lukeplusrach (trying to be smart and helpful) locked the doors and left the keys inside when he dropped my car at the airport. Which would have been fine except I didn’t read his text that carefully and didn’t bring an extra set of keys. But my nimble 70 year old mother saved the day and here’s proof. #mymomrocks #firstworldproblems #parkinggarage #earlyflight #fiddlestar (at Nashville International Airport)
From my mom’s birthday party last weekend… I love this look on her face. #proudmom #fiddle (at Hayward, CA)

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...
