my music

[fluid.forty.one]

hey guys, just thought I'd share this with you. I've been playing in a duo with this local bluegrass singing girl for the past year, and we just finished printing our CD. Here's our myspace if you want to take a listen It's just simple folk-type songs, just two instruments always and two voices. Didn't want to add on because we wanted it to sound similar to what we would sound like live.

just a little background on my music - been playing fiddle for about 15 years, won a bunch of state championships and placed nationally a couple times. I'm mostly playing mandolin on the CD though.. my mentor was Chris Thile from Nickel Creek, who was nice enough when I was younger to take me under his wing and give me a bunch of free lessons everytime he was in town. I've played on stage with him, all of nickel creek, Mike Marshall, Mark O Connor, and some others.

unfortunately the focus of the album was more vocal than instrumental so you wont hear any crazy Thile type stuff. Hopefully next CD I'll be let loose

molly, the girl I play with, learned from her dad who is a very respected bluegrass guitar player in the north west (Dale Adkins). She's 15 and has a beautiful voice and is really good on the guitar for her age.
