Soulfully sweet or raucously rollicking fiddle music for your special event. Whether you want Celtic, Bluegrass, Folk, or music from media and video games; whether you need background music for a corporate mixer, or the perfect songs for a wedding ceremony; whether you're entertaining 500 or 15; solo fiddle is a unique and affordable choice.
I hired Amy for my wife's funeral. She was very compassionate, flexible to my needs, and went the extra mile to learn my wife's favorite song before the event. Five stars!
Amy was a wonderful addition to our event. She is very professional and skilled as a violinist. We highly recommend her.
Amy delivered great celtic music for the outdoor event. Many friends and relatives commented on how good the music was and asked how I found such a talent? Gigsalad.com was the answer. D
Amy was on time, played beautifully, and was all around great. I really appreciated her communication before the event. I can definitely recommend Amy to others.
Amy was wonderful to work with and so accommodating to our somewhat last minute wedding ceremony. She played beautifully and we could not be happier with how our ceremony turned out!
My entire experience with gigsalad was amazing . Amy kept in touch throughout the entire planning process . Amy is so kind , great personality , and an amazing violinist . Her Solo for our daughters wedding will forever be remembered . Thank you
Amy was amazing! She was very professional and stayed in great contact with me prior to and the day of our wedding to make sure details were worked out. She showed up looking beautiful and her music provided the perfect background ambiance that we wanted for our wedding ceremony. We would definitely hire Amy again and recommend her to anyone who is looking for a fiddler or violinist for their special event.

When I'm hired for a solo gig, it's typically for something fairly quiet, for smaller audiences, or for background music.
I show up on time and dressed appropriately for the event. I check in with my contact and whoever I need to talk to for technical or organizational setup. We discuss the current plan - where I'm playing, at what time, what cues I might need to look for, when I will take breaks, where I can plug in if I'm amplified, if I've parked in the correct location, et cetera.
I get set up, I play beautiful fiddle music as requested - typically in 45-minute sets - I check back in with the organizers if necessary during breaks to make sure that volume/placement/theme are okay and nothing has changed in the schedule, and we finish the event.
My name is Amy and I've been playing the violin since I was three years old. I've played concert halls and neighborhood bars, weddings and funerals, rock shows and folk festivals, science fiction conventions and corporate mixers, a solo album and session tracks for other people's projects.
I'm in around seven bands at any given time.
I can bring solo acoustic fiddle for performances up to 50 people.
I can bring solo acoustic fiddle and a small amplifier for wide-open outdoor performances, or indoor performances with up to around 150 people.
For an extra charge, I can bring solo acoustic fiddle and a small PA system setup should you need better projection to a larger audience than 150.
