Calvin's musical talents were recognized at a very early age. Already at the age of 13, he won CFCW's Golden Fiddle Contest. This was just the beginning of many things to come, all the way up to earning the North American Fiddle Champion title in 1985. Not only is Calvin a master of his instrument, he is one of the most versatile musicians that I have ever met and worked with. His stylings cover country, old time, swing and jazz, which not many artists can claim. To top things off, he is also an accomplished composer and arranger. Calvin now teaches his craft and is sought after as a much desired judge for fiddle contests today. To date, Calvin has written 55 fiddle tunes. His recording career began in 1982 with his release of "The Reel Thing". To date, he has recorded 15 albums. Calvin is one of the most well known back up fiddle players on the road and in the studio today. He has backed such artists as Freddy Fender, Ferlin Husky, Bobby Bare, George Fox, Ian Tyson, Colleen Petersen, Danny Hooper, Joel Feeney and yours truly. He has toured across Canada and the US and now has made an impact in Europe as musical director of the international touring band known as Wild Rose Country. This release features some of Calvin's favorite compositions. It has always been an honour to work with this award champion of the fiddle. Keep up the great work Calvin - you are No. 1 in my book.
