Enjoy learning Scottish or Irish Celtic Music, or Bluegrass Fiddle styles in the Appalachian Mountains. Elisabeth Fisher (or Ellie Meigh in the fiddle world), grew up playing Irish fiddle, and her first performance was in a bar at the ripe age of 7 years old. More recently, she has studied under Sarah Lynn, the 2023 US National Scottish Fiddle Champion, and Melinda Perttu professor of scottish fiddling from Westminster College. Ellie has also studied under Annie Wolaver Dupre (from the Annie Moses Band) learning Bluegrass fiddle, and has participated in the Berlin Bluegrass Festival annually. Fiddle is a laid back style with a flare for the stage that anyone can enjoy learning.
