Tashina Clairridge
"Tashina is taking her music very seriously to the point where she will make a lasting impact on the people she touches with her talent in the future. She is in music for the right
reasons and we as listeners will benefit from it". -Mark O'Connor
Tashina Clarridge has played Fiddle for 22 years - since the age of two. She
has performed throughout the western United States, taught hundreds of
lessons and works...hops, and won countless awards.
Raised in the mountains of northern California, Tashina studied with Megan
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 MacMaster,
Buddy Spicher, Matt Glaser, and Mark O'Connor. She is the current Grand
National Fiddle Champion, a 6-time Grand National finalist, 6-time
California State fiddle champion, and 2-time Western Open Grand
Champion. Though her contest history clearly distinguishes her as a
sparkling 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.
Tashina has performed at Carnegie Hall as part of Grammy winning bassist Edgar Meyer's young
artists concert, and will be touring with Mark O'Connor this fall. She
travels and performs throughout the western United States with her
brother Tristan, the Bill Evans String Summit, and the contemporary
bluegrass outfit, Due West. Together Tashina and Tristan have taught
many lessons and workshops and have instructed at Mark O'Connor's
Strings Conference for the past 5 years.
Jefferson Hamer
“…sounds like a forgotten Gram Parsons release suddenly discovered….”
-Marquee Music Magazine
Jefferson Hamer started performing on music-club stages around Boulder, Colorado
in the late 90′s, where he was immersed in the thriving bluegrass and
jamband scene. He toured constantly on the national circuit, first with
his original acoustic trio Single Malt Band, and later in the electric
country-rock outfit Great American Taxi. After a decade spent living and
working in the West, he moved to New York, seeking a broader audience
for his original songs. As a newcomer to the big city, he found his way
to the traditional Irish and Appalachian Old-Time sessions of lower
Manhattan, where his ear, voice, and acoustic guitar playing earned him a
seat alongside the fiddles, banjos, and pints of stout. His musicality
reflects this breadth of influences, 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 unaccompanied electric guitar, he
plays and sings with a decorated roster of performing artists including
Anais Mitchell, Kristin Andreassen, Tao Seeger, Tashina Clarridge, and
Laura Cortese. His 2004 release “Left Wing Sweetheart” earned a 4-star
review from Marquee Music Magazine, who wrote it “sounds like a
forgotten Gram Parsons release suddenly discovered.”
