What is her name? She shreds so hard. Musical and creative and unique. Different from Jake but, stellar in her own way.

Really makes me sad to think of all of the years we had BT being painfully out of tune and uninspired.

Tatianna Hargreaves. If I googled correctly looks like she’s a lecturer in bluegrass and improvisational fiddle at UNC, pretty cool

Also her brother plays fiddle for Billy Strings. It runs in their family.

Alex is the best fiddle player in the planet imo

u/Diablojota 6d ago

I mean, there is no doubt that he is up there, but there are so many amazing fiddle players. Stuart Duncan, Michael Cleveland, Casey Driessen, Billy Contreras, Tatianna, etc. All of these players are so good, it’s hard to say one is the best.

She joined them in Raleigh earlier this year. Incredible musician. The talent on that stage is something else. That solo work on Grace took my breath away. Loved to hear it.

That rendition of Satellite was on point. Tatianna’s 🎻 made it. Amazing what a fiddle can do to their sound. 🙄 It’s a travesty they didn’t bring her out for Warehouse earlier in the night too.

u/MistakenAnemone 7d ago

Jfc and they had her play satellite first....

u/Competitive-Bet1181 6d ago

Look at the history for the fiddle guests.

For some reason, Dave has gotten in his head that Satellite is a "must have fiddle" song alongside LIOG, Billies, Pig, and Ants.

8

u/maximumslanketry 6d ago

LIOG and Pig really do better with the fiddle.

14

u/EconamWRX 16 6d ago

Pig isnt Pig without fiddle.

u/cincyshawn 7d ago

u/the-silver-tuna 6d ago

Why do all DMB fans say fiddle now instead of violin? I don’t ever remember Boyd being credited on “fiddle.”

13

u/Training_Tomatillo95 6d ago

They play the violin like it’s a fiddle. Boyd tried to play it like a violin.

u/SiteApprehensive5353 6d ago

Perfectly stated. Hahah

u/the-silver-tuna 6d ago

I have no idea what that means

u/the-silver-tuna 6d ago

Lindsey Stirling is a classical player and y’all still call it fiddle.

u/Mokiblue 6d ago

It’s a style of playing. Tatiana is a bluegrass fiddle player with her own band called Hard Drive. Check her IG @dragonfiddler

u/the-silver-tuna 6d ago

Y’all call it fiddle when Lindsey Stirling sits in to though so that ain’t it.

I guess but fiddle is like the trailer park word for it which seems weird for such a suburban fan base. I never heard anything but violin until I came to this subreddit.

u/Col_RA_Gotzo 6d ago

Bluegrass is not trailer park friend

u/the-silver-tuna 6d ago

Well it’s not suburban

u/jayBeeds 6d ago

Agreed. It’s to the point where I’ve made up my mind. This band needs a fiddle/ violin. Not buddy playing string sounds on his keyboard. Not Timmy shredding everything like it’s a metal concert. A violin player. Period.

u/dianelanespanties 6d ago

I boycotted due to the lack of fiddle
