About Me |
|
| The music of “The Rattlers” centers around the fiddling of James Wimmer, from Santa Barbara, California. A respected violin maker, Wimmer played old-time fiddle professionally in Europe from 1971 to 1979. He has an extensive repertoire of unusual fiddle tunes and old songs gleaned from out-of-print vinyl and oral sources. Tom Wolverton has been playing clawhammer banjo for over 35 years. Tom also plays dobro, guitar, mandolin and uilleann pipes. Stuart Mason is a native of West Virginia where he learned mountain music from local fiddlers. He plays guitar and mandolin in the band, and does a bit of flatfoot buck dancing when the spirit moves him. Stuart also is active as a solo performer and as the guitar player in the celtic band, "Molly's Revenge". | |

Why don't you guys play out more? |

| We are often asked about where our next gig is, or do we have a CD for sale. We're not that much of a giging band. Jim is very busy building violins, Tom is always working on some kind of spacecraft ... Posted by Rattlesnake Creek String Band on Mon, 25 Dec 2006 07:43:00 PST |
