Tashina Clarridge is a Grand National Fiddle Champion, renown for her work with the new acoustic group The Bee Eaters and Grammy winners Laurie Lewis and Mark O’Connor. These two hard-traveling artists draw from a transatlantic range of influences, performing original songs, Texas-style fiddle tunes, Irish trad, long-form instrumentals, and Appalachian old-time music. These unique, yet related genres are framed by voice, fiddle, and guitar- a classic instrumentation which diminishes regional differences and accentuates the fundamental traits common to all styles of folk music.
