My guest on the For the Greater Groove Podcast this week is cellist Natalie Haas. She has helped define this new role for strings that I keep talking about--the future of string playing, which I believe is all about being a genuine rhythm player, not just a melody/virtuosic player. Natalie is the consummate rhythm string player, and her 20-year duo with Scottish fiddle master Alasdair Fraser is testament to that. She breaks it down for us. And then I quiz the long-time teacher at the Valley of the Moon Scottish Fiddling School about...The Valley of the Sun, an early Hollywood western.
So proud to be a guest on the Gigging Musician Podcast. Readers may remember that I had Jared Judge on my podcast a few weeks ago. This time, he's interviewing me for his wonderful podcast all about the freelance world.
It's going to be "Groovin' on Tuesday afternoons." Honored to be included among the amazing teachers at Mike Block's Guided Practice Sessions. 4 live weekly workouts with me and a handful of other players on zoom. Bring it!
As always, I’d love to hear from you--just hit reply or comment/message me on socials below.
