Nashville concert series at the Violin Shop

[Steve Z]

I have been to several of the concerts/shows at the Violin Shop (http://www.theviolinshop.com/) in Nashville. The shows are fantastic. Top sessions and touring musicians. A couple weeks ago I saw Andy Leftwich and Cody Kilby (fiddle and guitar respectively for Ricky Skaggs). The show was incredible with seating for around 40 people. Intimate setting with a jam session that continued for several hours after the show... a circle of players from the audience who brought their instruments.

If you are a fiddle and flat picking guitar fan, then you will really enjoy these shows. The main performer is a fiddle player, but almost all have guitars playing with them.

Here is the concert schedule (more info at http://www.theviolinshop.com:
July 1 .......... Luke Bulla
July 15 ........ Casey Driessen
July 29 ......... Stuart Duncan - SOLD OUT
Aug 12 ......... TBA
Aug 26 ......... Aubrey Haynie

Aug 26 ......... Aubrey Haynie

Definitely worth going to hear Aubrey play.

Don't see too many people playing the fiddle like THIS (four strings at once)!

You can usually find Aubrey at the Station Inn in Nashville on Monday nights, playing with the Time Jumpers.

Aubrey, as well as the others, are all great musicians for sure. To see more of concerts performed at the Violin Shop (http://violinshop.com) in Nashville check out these trailers to the Fiddle Masters DVD series (http://www.theviolinshop.com/fiddleMasters.php)... the video compression of youtube makes the videos look bad, but the DVD quality is outstanding.

Another great concert coming up in Nashville... if you are in the area, then this will be a show you are going to enjoy. Although it does not look like there will be a guitar player at this show, Casey will absolutely amaze you with his fiddle playing.
