Tatiana Silver Hargreaves

Over the past eight years, Tatiana Hargreaves has been on the forefront of an up and coming generation of old time, bluegrass and new acoustic musicians. Since releasing her first solo album “Started Out To Ramble” in 2009, Tatiana has toured with musicians such as Dave Rawlings, Gillian Welch, Laurie Lewis, Darol Anger, and Bruce Molsky. From being the second woman to place first at the Clifftop Appalachian Fiddle Contest, to her bluegrass fiddling on Laurie Lewis’ GRAMMY-nominated album The Hazel And Alice Sessions, Hargreaves shows a musical fluency that flows between old time and bluegrass worlds with ease.

After touring as a member of Laurie Lewis & the Right Hands and finishing her degree at Hampshire College, Tatiana now makes her home in Durham, North Carolina where she is spending time with Alice Gerrard. Her most recent project with clawhammer banjo innovator Allison de Groot (Molsky’s Mountain Drifters) is set to record in April 2018. Tatiana also teaches and performs locally and hosts the monthly Pinecone youth bluegrass jam in Raleigh.

Tatiana dedicates herself to learning about the history and culture of music and respecting traditional old time and bluegrass while simultaneously seeking her own voice and exploring new ways of approaching these styles. This comes across in her educating and performing, engaging the audience with the very questions she contemplates about tradition, innovation, and positionality.
