FIDDLE WORKSHOP with DAVID GREELY (fiddler for Steve Riley & Mamou
Playboys
DATE: SUNDAY Nov 29th
TIME: 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM
LOCATION: Riverfolk Arts Center, 122 W. Main Street, Manchester MI
48158
FEE: $30
-----------------------------------------------------------
David Greely is one of Cajun music's most eloquent voices on the
fiddle, and has been a human search engine and musical bloodhound for
Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys since the day that he and Steve
formed the group. He revels in archival research, rare melodies,
linguistic arcana and historical prose and poetry with which he can
create songs that marry the distant past to the future. His fiddling
is inventive and witty, searching out and flowing into each opening
and angle in a song that needs a splash of color or a blues
inflection. In 1992, David was apprenticed to Cajun fiddle legend,
Dewey Balfa. In 2004, he received the “Artist Fellowship Award in
Folklife” by the Louisiana Division of the Arts. The Mamou Playboys
have been nominated three times for the Grammy award, twice in the
Traditional Folk Category.

At this workshop, David will teach a traditional Cajun Two-step and a
Cajun Waltz. He’ll choose tunes that well exemplify the melding of
European French and Afro-Caribbean influences that make Cajun music so
rich in melody and syncopation.
