FIDDLE SUMMIT

Edmonton and surrounding area is home to a great number of fiddle/violin players and some of these terrific instrumentalists will be featured in a Fiddle Summit at MacDougall United Church on Saturday afternoon.

Renowned American fiddle players like Matt Glaser and Darol Anger have long kept a tradition of hosting Fiddle Summits alive at festivals and roots music events around North America, so the festival organizers thought they’d use their inspiration to put together a similar event.

For Dead Ends Live 2023, the gifted Edmonton fiddle player Daniel Gervais will host our Fiddle Summit with an all-star cast that will include Calvin Vollrath, Jeremiah McDade and Shannon Johnson.

The Dead Ends audience is guaranteed to hear some magical interplay on tunes that will run from swing to Celtic, to east coast traditional tunes thru gypsy jazz and more. All the participants in our Fiddle Summit are critically acclaimed artists in their own right.
