About this concert
West County Fiddle Workshop (every 3rd Tuesday 7-9 PM)
In this 2-hour workshop, we'll dive into a new fiddle tune every month. American traditional fiddle music is vast, with deep Celtic roots and a fascinating multi-cultural history that gave birth to old-time music, and later to bluegrass. Each month, we'll work on a new tune from one of these three genres. After learning the basic melody, we'll explore the nuances that make each tune & style come alive.
All stringed instruments and levels are welcome, but students should be comfortable enough on their instruments that they can learn bite-sized phrases of a melody by ear.
David Pascoe is a singer and multi-instrumentalist based in Occidental, CA. In addition to being a passionate music educator and the co-founder of Every Folk (a 3-day camp for adults to explore traditional music and culture), he performs with multiple groups up and down the West Coast on fiddle, mandolin, and guitar. He lives for the moment when music comes alive in the people around him.
Workshop fee is $25, $20 for OCA members.

David Pascoe Biography
Singer and multi-instrumentalist David Pascoe’s music is at once comfortably old and refreshingly new. His subtly crafted songwriting - along with a polished versatility on fiddle, mandolin, and guitar - combines the warm textures of traditional folk with the playful improvisation of jam and jazz to create a style similar to Tim O’Brien, Sarah Jarosz, and Andrew Bird.
David performs solo and in multiple groups in the San Francisco Bay Area, including Late for the Train (Americana/folk), Eric Long & The Short Tempers (blues/Americana), and Jimbo Scott Band. He was the winner of the 2014 Open Mic Big Stage Competition at Infinity Music Hall in Norfolk, CT, where he later opened for newgrass legend Sam Bush. He is also the co-founder of Every Folk, a 3-day camp for adults to explore traditional folk music and culture.
His 2017 debut solo album, Ordinary Florist, will reawaken your powers of observation. Recorded in New York City over the course of a summer season working on an organic farm in Connecticut, it draws from both a deep love of nature and a fascination at the idiosyncrasies of a bustling metropolis. Whether listening from a lonely hilltop or a crowded city street, listen twice. You’ll be surprised at what you find.
