Factory String Band

  • Hickory Music Factory 1515 12th St Dr NW Hickory United States (map)

Experience the fulfillment of group music making and the living tradition of fiddle tune sharing with The Factory String Band. This ensemble will incorporate and develop a manageable repertoire of Appalachian, Scots-Irish and Scandinavian fiddle tunes. Participants will be expected to prepare for rehearsal with advance access to an online folder of written and recorded tunes.
The ensemble will be led by Liam Bailey and will cover a direct set of stylistically diverse fiddle music, while discussing different approaches to accompaniment, feel, balance and ornamentation. In The Factory String Band, the joy and abandon of group music making will be priority.
This ensemble is opened to the public and is suitable for some beginners and all intermediate players of any age. The class is free to HMF students and $40 to non-students. Appropriate instrumentation will include but will not be limited to, fiddle, flute, whistle, guitar, banjo, mandolin and acoustic bass. To sign up, please fill out the application below.
