3 Fiddlers 3 Traditions Seattle We are three fiddlers from three very different backgrounds - Danish, American, and Native American - who love to play together. Jamie’s Métis tradition, evolved from the melding of French Canadian, Irish and Native American music, has a Celtic flavor with a hint of Native American drumming. Kristian’s Danish tradition combines bright Nordic melodies with a powerful rhythm and lively fiddle seconding. Ruthie’s American style is syncopated and a bit bluesy. We like to show how each culture brings its own voice to the fiddle. But sometimes we just combine our styles and see what happens! We hope that you will enjoy listening to it, just as much as we enjoy playing it. You’ll hear the fiddle in its purest form, unaccompanied, as we each do a solo set and talk about the music. Together, we play in duets and trios, using only fiddles for accompaniment. We also feature a few tunes on the 5-string medieval fiddle (“vielle”). Most of our music is traditional, but we have a few distinctive originals as well. 3 Fiddlers 3 Traditions’s tracks Saddle Old Paint by 3 Fiddlers 3 Traditions published on 2017-02-23T14:43:37Z Teardrop Waltz by 3 Fiddlers 3 Traditions published on 2017-02-07T14:00:04Z On the Siskiyou Trail by 3 Fiddlers 3 Traditions published on 2017-02-07T13:43:07Z Østerbro Kontra (Eastbridge Contra) by 3 Fiddlers 3 Traditions published on 2017-02-07T13:31:50Z
