Is it bluegrass? Is it jazz? Is it classical, old time, ragtime, or blues? If it’s Pianafiddle performing, the answer is YES! Beginning only with a familiar tune, concert violinist and fiddler Adam DeGraff and jazz pianist Randy Morris improvise as they go, blending the traditional, the unwritten, and the spontaneous in compelling performances that range literally from Bach to Bluegrass. The duo blurs stylistic lines, transcends musical genres and brings energy and a tasteful touch of humor to each performance.

The Riders are “Ranger Doug” on arch-top guitar and baritone vocals; “Too Slim” on bunkhouse bass, face and tenor vocals; “Woody Paul” on fiddle, tenor vocals and rope tricks; and “Joey the Cowpolka King” on accordion and baritone vocals.
