ABOUT THE CAMP
Blue Ridge Fiddle Camp, presented by Casey Driessen, is an annual string gathering at the creatively inspiring Brevard Music Center in Brevard, NC. It features four days and nights of immersive fiddle/violin exploration, guided by Casey and a world-class faculty, culminating in a special finale concert.
The experience puts a modern spin on long-standing traditions of fiddle camps, focusing on individual musical voices through the exploration of rhythm, technology, and style. By embracing both tradition and innovation, Blue Ridge Fiddle Camp invites all adventurous and open-minded players of the instrument around the globe-of any style or number of strings, acoustic or electric-to come together and shape the future of bowed string playing.

Great build up; love the melody kinda hiding in plain sight, poking its head out here and there.

Thanks for putting this up, Casey! Been following you since you toured with the Flecktones around 2009. Your fiddle playing is inventive, virtuosic, and always scratches an itch I didn't know I needed scratched. Thanks for being you!

Thanks for coming along for the ride and taking the time to write! It was great fun, and a great learning experience, with the Flecktones. Take care!
