BIO Tiffany
has been studying violin for 8 years, starting at the suggestion
of her best friend. She started out taking classical lessons,
but soon discovered that classical music was not for her.
Eventually she ended up exploring other kinds of fiddle styles
including Bluegrass and Old Time, and after awhile she tried
Irish with a great fiddler from Cape Cod, Billy Hardy. For the
past several years she has been exploring Celtic fiddle music
with her fiddle heroes Hanneke Cassel and Laura Cortese, both
excellent fiddlers from the Boston area.
Tiffany has attended many fiddle camps
including Gaelic Roots, Boston Harbor Fiddle School, Valley
of the Moon Fiddle school in California, Mark O'Conners
Fiddle Camp and the Berklee String Fling which is held
annually at Berklee College of Music. She also regularly
attends fiddle contests throughout the New England area.
Recently she has enjoyed playing with The Resonators (a
great string band), Crossfire Bluegrass Band and 5
A.M.(teenage girl fiddlers from the Boston area previously
known as the Teen Girl Squad).
She has also
performed at a variety of places including the Joe Davies Folk
Festival held annually in Middleboro, Ma, and occasionally she
also plays for the wagon rides at Eastover Farms in Rochester,
Ma. You can also find her going around to various Open mics such
as the annual Fiddlers and Fisherman held at Common Fence Point
Coffee House, Liam's Pub which has one weekly, Cafe Arpeggio
(also weekly in New Bedford, Ma), and also the open mics held at
Soule Homestead. In her spare time she also enjoys teaching
Celtic fiddle lessons to several of her students. Sometime,
hopefully in the near future Tiffany also plans to make her
debut performance as a guitarist for 5 A.M. along with the
fiddling that she already does. |
