Old Time Fiddle Music

Old time fiddle music is a genre of American folk music. The "Old time fiddle tunes" started out in European folk dance tunes. The waltz, two step and polka are all forms that would lend a hand in fiddle music. At times you may hear a banjo or other instrument but the fiddle is often heard alone as well. The early colonies in North America would grow with fiddle music as the land was being settled by those who came from England, France, Germany, Ireland and Scotland. This soothing music lends it hand to music such as bluegrass, country blues, western swing and country rock.

The early 1900s would see young fiddlers playing the new music, their own music in their style with influnces from blues, and ragtime.




Fiddle music tells many different stories the sound of it just brings that old time feeling. I grew up in a small town with neighbors that enjoyed playing the fiddle. It was something that sounded great, the music would tell stories but they would tell them as well. just listen to some fiddle music
