Brian is a renowned American fiddler, educator, and author whose influence on traditional fiddle music has shaped generations of players across the globe. His dynamic playing style and approachable teaching methods have made him among the most respected fiddlers and educators in the United States.
A native Minnesotan and Minnesota Music Hall of Fame inductee, Brian began Suzuki violin lessons at age seven. As a nine year-old, he heard the bluegrass fiddling of Paul Warren on a record by Flatt and Scruggs that changed his life. He grew up going to bluegrass jams and festivals, practiced hard, won a bunch of fiddle contests, joined bands, and ultimately chose music as a career.
He is accomplished in many different fiddle styles including bluegrass, Appalachian, Swedish and swing. His expressive style blends technical precision with heartfelt musicality. Over the years, his performances have captivated audiences nationwide, whether on concert stages, at festivals, or in intimate workshop settings. He has toured internationally playing fiddle and mandolin with bands including Stoney Lonesome, Brother Mule, Chris Stuart, and Kathy Kallick. He fronts progressive bluegrass band, Barley Jacks and performs regularly in duos with Mike Cramer and Liz Ashworth. He also is host of the Fiddle Masters Concerts.

Come play with us! In this workshop we'll loosen up and play improv and theater games chosen for all ages to play together.

Meant to be silly fun and a way to make memories, you'll also learn a couple new games you can play together at home.
(Note: This workshop does best with families with kids ages 5 and up, but those with young folks under the age of 5--your little one is very welcome, and young children may or may not want to participate and that's totally okay! Do know that if you show up, you are expected to participate unless otherwise caretaking your very young children)

If you've always wanted to try improv or have seen it on TV and thought "I could do that!" or maybe you've even taken a class or two and want to meet other folks who like doing it, come out and play. We'll cover the basic tenets and rules of improv through short form improv games and have a blast along the way.
No improv experience necessary, just a good attitude and a willingness to have some fun.
At the end of this workshop, we'll offer an opportunity for participants to choose if they'd like to play a game or two in front of the audience for the improv show happening later in the evening.
