Tatiana Hargreaves

If you have seen this blog before you will know I am a fan of the violin. So someone as talented as this young lady was sure to catch my ear. Love me some Appalachian music.

At 14 years of age, playing both fiddle and banjo, Tatiana Hargreaves has already steeped herself in the archives of Appalachian music and song, and has appeared on stage with folk and bluegrass musicians including Bruce Molsky, Darol Anger, Mark O'Connor, Uncle Earl, Sara Watkins, Sean Watkins, Brittany Haas, Tristan Clarridge, Tashina Clarridge, Crooked Still, Luke Bulla, Laurie Lewis and Tom Rozum. In 2008, Tatiana became the youngest ever to win the Championship Division of the Oregon Oldtime Fiddlers Contest. In 2009, Tatiana also received an American String Teachers' Association Alternative Styles Award. She can also be seen on the Violin Shop Fiddle Masters Concert Series DVD Volume III.
