A beautiful long day at the Grey Fox Music Festival in New England with my increasingly excellent band Mr Sun, and leading a monster jam set Satuday night that included The Henhouse Prowlers band, banjo stars Wes Corbett and Trey Wellington, raconteur and cultural icon Joe Newberry, guitarist Scott Gates , mandolinist/vocalists A.J. Lee and the brilliant fellow Artistworks Professor Siarra Hull, Bassist & MVP Nate Sabat, and fiddlers moi, Avery Merritt and of course the President: Sam Bush. To lead a jam with these folks, just get them on stage and then stand back!

Summer to Fall 2018

Greetings Fiddlers!

A hugely eventful Summer and Fall season this 2018 for your Fiddling’ Prof.

After some intense teaching weeks at Berklee’s Global String Week and at Mike Block’s incredible Florida String Camp, A quick pivot out of Florida took me to some tour dates in California with my group The Furies and then up to festivals in Oregon, then right over to a great week at the Rockygrass Bluegrass Academy with the Artistworks crew, ending the week with an Artistworks Bluegrass All-Stars set and a David Grisman Reunion set. Immediately thereafter I flew to North Carolina and taught for a week at the wonderful Swannanoa Gathering near Asheville, then took a day to drive to Elkins where I taught and played concerts at Bluegrass Week at Augusta Heritage. That weekend I was able to work at my old buddy Mike Marshall’s Mandolin Camp in… yes… Marshall Michigan, where I took a break from fiddle and instructed and jammed on Octave Mandolin. A couple of great shows with Artistworks Bluegrass Vocal Instructor Michael Daves later, I found myself packing and managing a household move across the country in a trailer truck! We have made a huge change in lifestyle which is still reverberating across my life. I’m intrigued that I’ll have more time to devote to building up the Artistworks Lessons and finding more cool ways to think about teaching.
