About

On WeddingWire since 2023

Ritual Fiddler is a wedding soloist based in Northern, MI that specializes in weaving lush sonic backgrounds to create a beautiful container for big life moments.

Solo fiddle music has created ambience and joy for weddings and community ceremonies for centuries. It’s a focused, rich, down-to-earth choice for prelude music or cocktail hours, and can be woven into your ceremony with processionals, wedding marches, or recessionals.

From smooth, droning listening tunes, to up-tempo, energetic celebratory melodies, Laurel Premo plays fiddle music that reflect her lived experience in folk culture as an Upper Midwesterner. The sound resonates with all ages. There is a sleek elegance in this heritage – one musician with one instrument, acoustically pouring out the tones and rhythms that help folks emotionally open for ceremony and bind memories together.

Premo’s repertoire is rooted in her study of Southeastern and Midwestern American fiddle music as well as fiddle and dance traditions from Finland, Sweden & Norway. Listen to a variety of music samples on www.ritualfiddler.com

Laurel Premo
Laurel Premo
artist

Laurel Premo is known for her rhythmically deep and rapt delivery of roots music, spanning the crossover of old-time and bluesy American traditions to darker Scandinavian sounds. She is a Michigan-based artist who has been writing, arranging, and touring internationally since 2009 with vocal and instrumental roots acts. “Subtle but dazzling and rich in texture. Watching a live performance is pure hypnosis.” – MTV. She was first introduced to folk music by her parents and later mentored by Joel Mabus (banjo, Michigan), Arto Järvelä (fiddle, Finland), and Ånon Egeland (fiddle, Norway).
