Overview
My name is KeyReel, I'm professional violinist and fiddler with more than 30 years of playing violin (TCU School of music, Russian Academy of Music). My music experience is in Classical, Gypsy Jazz,/Swing, Irish and Scottish, Pop and Rock music. I have a wide range of activities in music, I am a member of several orchestras in the Dallas/ Fort Worth area. Besides that I play in a few bands around DFW, featuring Jazz, Blues and Celtic fiddle. And most important for Gigsalad - I play acoustic and electric violin solo with tracks, so I basically have orchestra behind me. And I have all the equipment, even when no electricity available! Ask me about songs you need, I look forward to!
