Old-Time Fiddle Workshop and Jam with Billy Matthews

This Old-Time Fiddle Workshop and Jam with Billy Matthews will mark the 5th year that Billy's workshop has been held on the Super Bowl weekend.

Billy Matthews is known far and wide across this land for his musical skill and Old-Time fiddlin' ability. He has traveled extensively throughout the Midwest for over 30 years. Thoughtful, musical kinships maintained through all these many years have earned him a considerable amount of notoriety and recognition throughout Old-Time,traditional music circles. Billy has that Ozark up-bow/backbeat style of fiddlin' that is in the Midwest Dance Tradition. At 53 years of age, Billy has literally become the embodiment of his Scot-Irish ancestors,
continuing on their traditional approach to life, tried-and-true,"old school" doctrines of a self-reliant rural lifestyle." Billy continues to collect and play a huge repertoire of Old-Time fiddle tunes. He has
already made a sizable and significant contribution to our American
musical culture and there is No End in Sight.
