End of May and June really rocked.... quite busy for the Ol' Perfesser.
End of May and June really rocked.... quite busy for the Ol' Perfesser.
Starting with an appearance of Darol's all-star band Anger & The Furies at the amazing Delfest,
Darol managed a really fun Fiddle Workshop there also, featuring Brittany Haas ( a Fury and no stranger to these pages), and the leader of the phenomenal Bluegrass group Della Mae and 2-time Grand National Fiddle Champion Kimber Ludiker. We connected with a couple of School Of Fiddle stalwarts there also before moving on to the beautiful and exremely fun Live Oak Fiddle Camp, created by Fiddle School Star Student Heidi Labensart!
A small camp for advanced players, Darol taught for 3 intense days with Brittany Haas and the incredible Christian Howes, who also has a high-level Jazz Violin online school. Again, I was able to meet in person a Fiddle Shcool Student (we are everywhere!) Marie Bullfinch.
Couple of weeks of rehearsals, school clinics and preparation for the next phase: Mark O'Connor's mammoth Fiddle Conference at Berklee College in Massachussetts at the end of this month! The on to The Indiana Fiddlers' Gathering... I hope to see some more folks from our School in both those places!
