Award winning fiddler Charletta Erb
With an eclectic musical background, she loves harmonizing with voice and strings. At 5 years old, she saw kids playing violin on Sesame Street and thought it looked fun. She is grateful to her Iowa farmer parents for encouraging her interest at this age and funding years of private lessons. She entered classical training as well as old time fiddle group lessons, with performances on the back of a truck bed at fall festival, at summer camps, nursing homes, and in honors orchestra. By high school, she had taken on classical guitar instruction, played first chair in orchestra, and sang in the choir and madrigals.
In college, she favored folk music settings: Old Time jam sessions at farmer’s market, square dances, twin fiddling improvisation, and a bluegrass band. Living in London, she enjoyed English and Irish pub sessions. These days, you’ll find her at Old Time Fiddlers jams in Oak View, as well as other varied jam sessions in Ventura, CA.
