Testimonials

“The Mona Shores Fiddlers were lucky to have Uneven Ground as our guest artists for our 17th Annual Fiddle Festival performance. UG put on a great show and did a fantastic job working with my students from the workshop before the show through the closing tune which we played together with them. An amazing experience for all!”
