Cassandra Hawkins
Overview
Violinist/Fiddler/Singer: I graduated from Belmont University and have been playing the violin for over 25 years. I play in groups, bands, as a session musician, and as a solo violinist. The genres I regularly play range from classical, Celtic, pop, singer/songwriter, fiddle, and more.

July 4, 2026Perfect Professional Performance
Cassandra was a delight. She drove a great distance to help me propose. She played all of my requested songs perfectly and with a passion that helped me say “I love you, Marry Me”.
I would recommend her for ANY occasion that you have without ANY hesitation. The bonus in this hire is that the person behind the violin is equally as beautiful as the music she plays.

About
With a degree from Belmont University, Cassandra combines the technique and precision of a classical background with the energy and improvisation of various fiddle genres.
With nearly ten years of touring experience, Cassandra has traveled the US (including the Virgin Islands) with various artists and bands. Her most recent and current being "Emo Orchestra.” She has traveled for weddings, weddings receptions, conferences, shows/events, and more.
Off stage, Cassandra understands the pressures, challenges, and demands that come with session work. Her professionalism and hard work are only some of the reasons she continues to be sought out by producers and tour managers.
Additional booking notes
Outside of playing acoustically, I do have the ability to be plugged into a system. I have a high quality pickup installed on my violin. If a DJ or PA System is provided, I can plug in so that I can be amplified over the system. This is not a requirement - just an option!

Set list
I take requests! Ask away and I will take a listen to let you know if it’s possible. I have played anything from classical pieces like Bach, to top Billboard hits from artists like Ed Sheeran or Shawn Mendes, to fiddle pieces like the "Devil Went Down to Georgia."
If you are interested in booking me for a wedding, I do have a Song Suggestion List if needed. If you get stuck in your musical planning process, this list can help or inspire your choices. I always let my clients know that they can always veer from the list though!
