In 2022, filmmaker @brialight approached me about doing a short documentary on my music for her thesis in filmmaking at @ucberkeleyofficial . In May of the following year, I attended the premiere of “The Road Home”, which documents a bit of the ever developing story of me and the fiddle.
Thanks to @thebluegrasssituation for publishing the film for the world to see, and for their interview of Bria on the process. I hope you all enjoy it! (Link in bio)

Oh hey! Turning 37 on 7/11, the most convenient birthday. What’s also convenient is my album being available on all streaming platforms AND on my website. <link in bio> Give it a listen and see what I’ve been up to!

A decade has passed! I moved to San Francisco on April 2, 2016, with a goal of being able to stay here a year. It’s incredibly difficult to capture a decade in 20 photos, so I’m not going to even pretend that I did. My life changed the moment I crossed the Bay Bridge. I found my home, my people, the place I can breathe, I found love… I found myself. Thank you to everyone who has made and still helps make San Francisco home.

Bows! Setup! Maintenance! 5-strings! Such an enjoyable and enlightening chat with luthier/fiddler Brandon Godman, owner of the Fiddle Mercantile (San Francisco) and The Violin Shop (Nashville). What to look for in a bow, balance vs. weight, tips for testing a bow, fiddle spa day, classical vs. ‘fiddle’ setup, David Bromberg’s collection of American-made violins, modern 5-string makers and instruments, interesting things found inside cases and violins, putting rice in your fiddle, a serious fear of snakes…and more! We’re so lucky to have the folks from The Violin Shop on hand at Blue Ridge Fiddle Camp to share their knowledge—and bring a van load of exciting fiddles and bows to try out :-) Hope you can join us at camp!

@mrfiddler1 brought @darolangerfiddler and @caseydriessen to my shop for a Five string session.
5x5s=25 strings, belonging to Darol’s iconic Rowan and his AES octave fiddle, Casey’s faithful Silakowski and two of my recent Fives.
Here’s some clips of them rocking my fiddles. I didn’t know they could sound like this! :-)
Thanks for an inspiring afternoon!
