I just had a cool conversation with 2X GRAMMY nominee and 3X National Fiddle Champion Byron Berline. Byron opened up as he shared about his life in Bluegrass music, Oklahoma's International Bluegrass Festival, film scoring, his Guthrie, Oklahoma music shop and concert hall Byron's Double Stop Fiddle Shop, tips for upcoming fiddlers/musicians, and some other notable Oklahoma artists on the scene like Red Dirt Rangers, The Hunt Family and the Rockin' Acoustic Circus.
In addition to earning Grammy nominations for Best Album of the Year for his 1996 release Fiddle & Amp; A Song, and Best Song of the Year for his Country Instrumental performance, "Sally Goodin" by Byron, with Earl Scruggs and Bill Monroe, Byron's also worked with The Rolling Stones, Emmylou Harris, Elton John, The Band, etc.; scored hit movies like Back To The Future, Basic Instinct, and others; and continues to tour internationally while impressing local audiences with his music.
Byron regularly draws crowds and generates much support with his swingin' brand of Bluegrass at Oklahoma's International Bluegrass Festival held annually in Guthrie. OIBF is a vibrant scene for international and local Bluegrass artists, scholarship awards and an, overall, great time. For more information, visit www.oibf.com.
Byron's a working artist and smart businessman with solid wisdom about staying musical and finding success one genre at a time.
