She is in music for the right reasons and we as listeners will benefit from it\". -Mark O'Conn or\n\nTashina Clarridge has played Fiddle for 22 years - since the age of two. She has performed throughout the western United States, taugh t hundreds of lessons and works...hops, and won countless awards.\n\nR aised in the mountains of northern California, Tashina studied with Me gan Lynch and Rob Diggins. Her musical horizons were greatly expanded by frequent visits to Nashville for Mark O'Connor's fiddle camp where she studied with many fiddle heroes such as Darol Anger, Natalie MacMa ster, Buddy Spicher, Matt Glaser, and Mark O'Connor. She is the curren t Grand National Fiddle Champion, a 6-time Grand National finalist, 6- time California State fiddle champion, and 2-time Western Open Grand C hampion. Though her contest history clearly distinguishes her as a spa rkling clean, studied player in the genre of Texas-style fiddling, it is her enthusiasm for many diverse styles of music that brings such a high level of creativity to her playing.\n\nTashina has performed at C arnegie Hall as part of Grammy winning bassist Edgar Meyer's young art ists concert, and will be touring with Mark O'Connor this fall. She tr avels and performs throughout the western United States with her broth er Tristan, the Bill Evans String Summit, and the contemporary bluegra ss outfit, Due West. Together Tashina and Tristan have taught many les sons and workshops and have instructed at Mark O'Connor's Strings Conf erence for the past 5 years.\n\nJefferson Hamer\n\n“…sounds like a forgotten Gram Parsons release suddenly discovered….”\n-Marquee M usic Magazine\n\nJefferson Hamer started performing on music-club stag es around Boulder, Colorado in the late 90′s, where he was immersed in the thriving bluegrass and jamband scene. He toured constantly on t he national circuit, first with his original acoustic trio Single Malt Band, and later in the electric country-rock outfit Great American Ta xi. After a decade spent living and working in the West, he moved to N ew York, seeking a broader audience for his original songs. As a newco mer to the big city, he found his way to the traditional Irish and App alachian Old-Time sessions of lower Manhattan, where his ear, voice, a nd acoustic guitar playing earned him a seat alongside the fiddles, ba njos, and pints of stout. His musicality reflects this breadth of infl uences, and his own songs echo the distilled melodies and lyricism of British, Irish, and American traditional music. In addition to his own full-band and solo shows, which are often flogged to life by unaccomp anied electric guitar, he plays and sings with a decorated roster of p erforming artists including Anais Mitchell, Kristin Andreassen, Tao Se eger, Tashina Clarridge, and Laura Cortese. His 2004 release “Left W ing Sweetheart” earned a 4-star review from Marquee Music Magazine, who wrote it “sounds like a forgotten Gram Parsons release suddenly discovered.”\n\nThe artists' websites:\nhttp://www.clarridgefiddlers .com/\nhttp://www.jeffersonhamer.com/\n\nSuggested donation $12- at th e door; $10 if reservation is made at least 24 hours in advance and Tu esday Club members.
