- fiddle

Chance is the latest addition to the band's line-up. He is one of the brightest young traditional fiddlers to emerge from the great state of West Virginia, a state well known for it's rich fiddling heritage. After playing the fiddle for only five years he won the West Virginia Championship held at the Vandalia Gathering, one of West Virginia's most prestigious awards. His fiddling captures the oldest styles and sounds of mountain fiddlin' while being equally adept at String Band Styles.

He is also a talented multi instrumentalist and singer, playing Mandolin, Guitar, Banjo, Banjo Ukulele, Viola and Dulcimer. He has performed and collaborated in many genres including swing, jazz, ragtime, bluegrass, blues, classical, celtic, rock, funk, and electronic genres. He has been fiddling most recently with Bluegrass legend Everret Lilly and The Lilly Mountaineers.
