Violinist/Guitarist to play small events, parties, and weddings. I have played solo violin for the church ceremony (including all the typical required songs), as well as then at the receptions.
We had To Be Continued play for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and throughout dinner. Needless to say, everything from start to finish working with Kevin and the band was so smooth and wonderful. He was always so communicative and willing to play songs that we requested for the ceremony and formal reception dances, and even learned a song or two for the wedding. We had guests of all ages and got so many compliments from all about how wonderful and fun the band was. We couldn’t have asked for a better group of musicians, they made our day so special! Would 100% recommend for any event!
Response from Kevin Vidmar - Violin:
Lilia - thanks for the review. You are the best! We loved doing your event.
Kevin played the processional and during the cocktail party at my wedding. He was so pleasant and a great violinist. Will be sure to use him again.
Kevin Vidmar is very personable, a professional, and his music just Beautiful!! He has a repertoire of the classic and traditional ballads and also asked for feedback on favorite songs. I would highly recommend Kevin for a wedding or special occasion. He played for my daughter's church ceremony and cocktail hour.
Very Magical! The Best!!

Well played, well organized violinist and performer - ready to add to your special events. Also play guitar during receptions or other low key events if wanted.
My mom strongly encouraged each of her kids to try an instrument (thanks Mom!) and I chose violin in sixth grade. I played for a year until discovering that sports and violin playing don’t necessarily agree with each other, and I quit. Worst mistake of my life, but one I am trying to make up for now. Amazingly, I still play the same violin mom bought for me back in the 6th grade. (Thanks again, Mom!)
Started playing again in college in some great bands with great names in Ohio – The Empty Bottles Band, The Water-tower Wobblers, and then Buckeye Ridge – who played major regional festivals, and even opened for George Jones, J.D. Crowe, and Doc Watson. Oh – the good old days.
I did not really play again seriously at all until mid-2017. That’s a 33 year gap – darn it.
I am seemingly now making up for lost time. Played in 2018 through early 2020 with Saddle Up the Chicken, filled in many times with Greystone Rail, played with recording artist Mary Pierce Hurwitz, and with many others as needed. I now play as much as possible with Country Wild Heart Band (CWHB) and To Be Continued Band (TBCB). See the separate CWHB and TBCB sections for more on them. I participate in Rhode Island Bluegrass Alliance (RIBA) jam sessions, and many others around the state and in South County. I also do solo gigs at times, just me and my guitar (I branched out), doing originals and covers, as well as weddings and funerals (solo or with others).
