Hello! I am a fiddle player/violinist who's been playing for 20+ years and 15+ years professionally. I play for all types of events, from weddings, to festivals, to parties, to house concerts. I primarily perform fiddle music - celtic, bluegrass, swing, canadian old time, etc, but also have plenty of experience playing classical music (especially wedding repertoire). Depending on the gig, I can bring along some supporting musician pals, or can fulfill gig solo. I'm also a full-time music teacher.
Kai is punctual, delivered exactly what I asked for. Would definitely recommend, thank you!
Price Range: $150 and up
I provide fiddle/violin performances solo or accompanied with musician friends for all kinds of events
Kai Gronberg grew up in Abbotsford, BC, and has been playing the fiddle since he was 4 years old. Kai has had a diverse and rich upbringing within the Canadian old time fiddling scene, playing for many dances, & festivals, as well as attending camps and competitions both as a student and now instructor. In his youth, he studied with some of Canada’s premier fiddle players, such as Mike Sanyshyn, Calvin Vollrath, and Patti Kusturok. His performance resume has taken him far and wide, from playing at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, all the way to the Great Wall of China. He remains an active performer and entertainer across Canada. Kai has a decorated resume at various fiddle contests across the country. He is a 3-time John Arcand Fiddle Fest champion, 2-time Canadian Grand Masters finalist, and 3-time BC Provincial Champion. Kai now resides in Vancouver and takes an active role teaching, jamming, and performing where he hopes to continue to inspire and share his passion for fiddle music for years to come. Kai is a spirited and dedicated educator whose goals are to preserve and continue to build a long lasting fiddle community in Vancouver and beyond. Kai is co-director and co-founder of the Open Door Fiddlers, a performance group offering weekly group lessons and sessions with a Youth and Adult group. The group is a reflection of Kai’s interests in building community, teaching traditional music, and performing for communities. For 2024, Kai has begun “Kai’s tune a day live stream” project in which he live streams a different tune every day on his social media platforms.
