Profile thumbnail image for Folk Fusion Fiddler

Overview

I’m a versatile performer available as a session musician or collaborative concert artist. I play various acoustic idioms ranging from historical works from any time period to contemporary styles in blues, folk, bluegrass and other fiddling styles, jazz fusion, and other alternative, experimental, and progressive styles.

DISCLAIMER - PLEASE READ:
I am a project performer and look for gigs that stretch me as a performer. I put lots of preparation into each gig and charge accordingly. If you have a challenging or unique project, tell me exactly what you want. I can make it happen. If you are looking for standard wedding musicians, please check out some of Gigsalad’s other performers. Thanks!

Folk Fusion Fiddler was amazing!

Andrew was an amazing musician that played during our ceremony. We had both a violinist and cello, and some attendees at our wedding said the music was moving and got them emotional at times during the ceremony. They were on time, very professional, and fantastic musicians. I would highly recommend Folk Fusion Fiddler for any events.

What to expect

Classical Concerts--I present artist-level recitals for unaccompanied violin (any requested repertoire) and chamber ensemble (violin-piano duo, violin-clarinet-piano trio, violin-cello duo, piano trio, string trio, and string quartet). These events may feature lecture-performance demonstrations for more academic settings, entertainment-oriented concerts, or strictly musical performances with minimal or no talking. Specially requested repertoire must be approved no less than three weeks before the proposed concert dates (six weeks for solo works). Invitations for experimental and inter-disciplinary projects are encouraged.

Coffee House/Bar/House Concerts--Choose between solo performances (featuring instrumental pieces, songs, and monologue) and group performances with jazz, pop, indie or acoustic ensembles. I encourage specific requests including styles other than the above mentioned examples!

Stage/Festival Band Performances--This performer will coordinate live performances in a variety of styles for stage shows at private and festival events.

Sessions: Engage this performer for recording sessions. Rates depend on the preparatory demands of the session.
