NH Fiddle Ensemble led by Ellen Carlson

Description

This fun, entertaining, feel good acoustic show with finale jam session was a sell out last summer! Always a hit with the crowd, the Fiddle Ensemble is made up of musicians of all ages playing guitars, mandolins, banjos, and basses. Their lively performances are just as diverse with fiddle music in a variety of traditions including folk, country, pop, swing, rich melodious Irish, and classical, to driving rhythmic Cajun and bluegrass. “It’s more than just fiddle tunes,” according to Ellen Carlson, Fiddle Ensemble coach. “There are kids playing fiddles behind their backs and hula-hooping while they play, a 75-year-old woman stepping up to rip up a bluegrass fiddle tune solo, a 50-year-old teetotaler who can belt out a great Irish drinking song, a 60-year-old woman singing the blues, a stone mason who steps up to play an upright bass solo on a swing song, and so much more.” Be ready to tap your feet and dance in your seat!
