Notorious Rebel Fiddle

Calling all hippies and hillbillies. The Notorious Rebel Fiddle is a five piece band with a devoted MN following. Hall of Famer and Daisy Dillman fiddler Pat Frederick is joined by legendary local veterans Brian C Peters, Kenny Wilson, Dr. Dave Schmalenberger and the Right Rev. Scott Malchow, putting on a master class in collegial ass-kickery. Expect old school country, folk and Americana sprinkled with some sweet edifying 60’s hippie music.

It’s some of the finest picking, pedal steel and fiddle anywhere, not to mention an all star rhythm section - add Frederick’s soulful vocals and storytelling from years of lived musician life and you’ve got yourself a night. Reminisce with 60’s Nashville and counter culture gems from your youth that are inexplicably still seared into your hippocampus. Make reservations early… with these desperados it always sells out fast.
