I am an eclectic violinist meaning that I can play classical, bluegrass, jazz, popular, movie music, etc. Almost any style. My favorite thing is taking musical requests so I can play people their favorite song and put a smile on their face. I can play something upbeat that will lift their spirits or something emotional that can make them cry. Whatever is needed in the moment I can do!

April 30, 2025Working with Eclectic Violinist was a pleasure from start to finish. Their tone was warm and lyrical, and they were both collaborative and professional—taking time to understand my vision, offering thoughtful musical suggestions, and even arriving early to ensure everything went smoothly on the day of the event.

Born and raised in North Carolina, Ashley has been playing the violin since the age of 7, and has always aspired to be a professional violinist. She comes from a musical family: her mother is a violist in the North Carolina Symphony, and her father is a band director and strolling clarinetist and saxophonist.
Although Ashley has had an extensive background in Classical music, she is equally as passionate about playing other genres of music such as Irish/Scottish, Bluegrass, Blues, and Swing and was in a Bluegrass band called Swift Creek for two years. She has been recorded on 5 CD’s, including playing the music in the background for a T.V. commercial.
Ashley currently performs regularly with the North Carolina Symphony, the NC Opera Orchestra, and various other ensembles in the triangle area.

She has been recorded on 5 CD’s, including playing the music in the background for a T.V. commercial.
Ashley currently performs regularly with the North Carolina Symphony, the NC Opera Orchestra and various other ensembles in the triangle area. She also plays for numerous weddings throughout the year. She is well known for her ability to be a strolling violinist and make an event even more elegant or fun!
She has two children Abigail, who is 3 years old, and Declan who is 1 year old.
If performing outdoor Ashley will need the event to be covered to protect her violin or you can rent her tent from her for a small fee.
She has equipment to amplify herself with an electric violin and amp or can travel and play acoustically such as a strolling violinist.
For a wedding she will bring all music and equipment that is required! If you are looking for a duet, trio, or quartet as well she would gladly be able to contract that with musicians she trusts and enjoys working with.
