Welcome to BluegrassDaddy.com. My goal is to provide the best fiddle instruction resource on the internet, at a very affordable price.

I have over 25 years of experience, both as a teacher and as a professional musician. This site is also a companion to my local fiddling outreach, which provides free instruction and performance opportunities to youth in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee.
