Minnesota Fiddle Tunes Project CD now on sale.

This CD is about the research, recovery and relearning of Minnesota fiddle music.  Many of the masters have left us with few to take there place.  Luckily, more than 50 Minnesota musicians have come together to help this music flourish again.  Using old field recordings and current masters as their guide, they have put their modern stamp on the music.  It is great to hear these tunes reborn.

$15 plus tax.
Free shipping. USA only for now.

  1. I just happened upon this site by chance. What a great collection you have here! I grew up in a fiddling family in western Wisconsin and this brings back so many memories of both tunes and musicians I used to know!!
