Vassar Clements

Vassar Clements is one of the world's finest, and probably the world's most versatile fiddle players alive today. His career began at a very early age. His phenomenal ability to play virtually any kind of music (bluegrass, country, pop, rock, jazz and swing) has garnered him various awards, including five Grammy nominations and a track record that involves multitudes of recording performances. His performing and recording experience has been so diverse, the list reads like a "Who's Who" of fiddle players.
Vassar is more than just a fine musician. Many titles have been bestowed upon him. Some refer to him as a country Isaac Stern, others a Count Basie fiddle player., and even the Miles Davis of bluegrass, The reason - perhaps is the fact that Vassar is a music philosopher who elects to play his thoughts on his instrument. He has simply taken the medium of music and used it to express his feelings. He is a prolific composer of instrumentals and plays seven instruments.- violin, viola, cello, bass, mandolin, guitar and tenor banjo.
