Tatiana HargreavesGUEST
Um, [laughs] I was really obsessed with this fiddler, uh, Bruce Molsky, uh, when I was a teenager, and he's an incredible old-time fiddler, and he became a mentor to me.
Tatiana HargreavesGUEST
Um, and I feel like, yeah, like Bruce Molsky and Darrell Anger and Brittany Haas were three kind of early big fiddle influences for me as a kid, uh, on the West Coast, like, going to fiddle camps and festivals and stuff.
Tatiana HargreavesGUEST
Um, and, uh, and then I kind of, uh, yeah, when I went to college, I started playing a lot with Laurie Lewis, who I, I had known since I was- A kid, but she really, like, became a, a huge mentor to me in college and getting me to be more comfortable improvising and playing bluegrass music.
Tatiana HargreavesGUEST
So Laurie Lewis has been a big mentor figure, um, and also Alice Gerrard, who, uh, she's the reason I moved to North Carolina.

In fact, I don't even think we would have this term folk cellist if it weren't for Natalie Haas.
Judy MinotHOST
She grew up in California playing a lot with her sister, Brittany Haas, and by her early teens, she was touring with Scottish master fiddler, Alistair Fraser.
Judy MinotHOST
And since that time, she's played with pretty much every well-known name in American and European roots or folk music.
Judy MinotHOST
She also teaches and was a teacher at Berklee College of Music, and she teaches at a lot of camps, including the Valley of the Moon Camp in California and the String Fling Camp at Ashokan in the east coast of the United States.
