Montana State Old Time Fiddlers Dist 1

Montana State Old Time Fiddlers Dist 1 A group of Northwest Montana musicians committed to the preservation and performance of traditional old-time acoustic fiddle music throughout Montana.

District 1 became active in the mid 60's. Our district extends from the Idaho/MT border to the Continental Divide and from the Canadian border down to St. Ignatius in Montana. We offer activities, jams and educational opportunities for musicians and listeners of all ages. This is a group of lively members who enjoy getting together to jam on the fiddle, guitar, banjo, mandolin, Dobro, ect. Most mo

nths we meet the 3rd Saturday of the month. We have members who have been part of this group for over 50 years and some who just joined this month. There are some great multi-talented musicians and also some hopeful folks who are just starting out with the fiddle, to learn something new :o)
It's invigorating to sit and watch the experienced players pass on their love and knowledge to the next generation of musicians!! "As a musician it's so wonderful to listen to all the different versions of the same song being played, with all the improvisations and harmony being added," junior member. "It's rewarding to see such enjoyment on the faces in a crowd, too." So even if you're just passing through, feel free to come join our jam session or most current event! The great thing about these instruments is they can go with you wherever your travels may take you!
