Quinn and Natalie will be instructing Métis and Québécois fiddle styles of Canada. After graduating from Berklee College of Music, Quinn returned to Canada with a newfound appreciation of his own musical heritage and traditional music. Through mentorships with elder fiddlers, Quinn has collected a rare repertoire of regional tunes from the rural north; most of which are crooked dance classics that fell through the cracks of recorded music history. The class will focus not only focus on melodies, but the traditional bowing and ornamentation that drove rural Canadian square dances in the 1800s.
Meet your Instructors:
Quinn and Natalie are both talented multi-genre multi- instrumentalists, born to musical families. They met in 2018 at the Montana Fiddle Camp and enjoy collaborating in the studio and on stage whenever they get the chance. Quinn’s innovative accompanying style blends effortlessly with Natalie’s original compositions, creating music that captures the ears of studied musicians while remaining accessible to all. Their album Montana Wildflower has been favorably reviewed along with Natalie’s recent single that Quinn produced, Going Going Gone. Their performances feature a delightfully diverse set of fiddle tunes, Quebeqois tremolo harmonica, clawhammer banjo, songs and even a bit of swing!
