My violin is fixed! 🎻 Woohoo! 🥰 I upgraded my recording interface and I bought new lighting for videos! 🥳🥳 Tonight I’ll be recording You Are the Reason and work on all the songs day by day to come out with the first Fiddler Fam Favorites! ☺️☺️ It’s my goal to finish the recording tonight and post the video. 😃😃 I think I let the damaged pick up and busy travel/gig schedule weigh me down and slow my consistency of posting. 🥺With positive energy and happy thoughts I’m bringing myself back up back to creating regularly, like how I did at Wintergreen! ☺️ ⛰ ❤️ 💜

I am so excited to be taking part of Adam Ivy’s 20 Days of Focus Challenge and here is what I’ve created so far! ☺️☺️ . It took all day to create and arrange the violin music and I’m still working on it. I think I have about 30 tracks in this short clip! . Thank you @sitnspinstudios for helping me with the track and always continuing to help me grow! . Much love, peace and happiness! ☺️☺️😃😃🥰🥰🎻🎻
Cheers to a great Monday! 🎻🥰😃
You know you’ve made it when fans want to sign your chest? 🥳 I thought it was the other way around! 😂 But hey, I’ll take it! 😎 . I love checking out and performing at new venues. Last night was a blast at a place called The Wandering Bard where they served all sorts of flavored mead! 🍾😃 . Today I’m getting ready to perform virtually on my Drunken Fiddler Facebook Page at 7:30pm. 🎻☺️ It’s the total request live and I’ll be busy brushing up on new tunes! Virtual chest signing included! 😆 . I plan to come back to IG and perform live as well, I’m just disorganized. 🙃Oliver, if you’re reading this, add it to my schedule! 😉😂 . Wishing everyone a bright and happy day! ❤️🌈💜☺️
‘If you can dream it, you can do it.’ - Walt Disney ❤️ . Cheers to keeping a positive mindset. ☺️ Here’s a simple quote that really speaks to me. 🥰 .
I was offered a great opportunity to perform in Maine benefiting ALS this past weekend. ☺️ On Sunday I was able to perform for fans and friends in a solo show at the same venue. 🎻 . I met Gayle online through a group called Quarantine Karaoke and we’ve known each other for almost an entire year now. She always requests Hallelujah during my lives so we all cleverly call her Gaylellujah. 😂 . On Sunday I was able to perform Hallelujah for her in person. 🥳 This is a short 24 second clip of the performance. It was so heart warming to meet so many people who follow me on social media. 😌❤️
If only I could figure out Instagram. Pearl watching #thedrunkenfiddler ALS benefit.

Back core roller USE IT DIFFERENTLY Soooo good!! HERES HOW I USE THE CORE ROLLER to massage back muscles after that boxing and now helps me massage after playing the violin. Back core rollers are fantastic! Your use them on the floor and basically you lay on them and gently roll you back over. But use them differently 🤗🤗😑😑HERE'S WHAT I DO🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😑😑😑😑😑😑😑 I find the way you use above quite difficult and painful!! So I find a wall in house keep standing, put the roller behind me by both hands in each end lift arm up and slot behind you on the wall. Then do gentle squats not all the way to the ground just squat to points on your back rolling it over your back and moving in different positions to roll all the different muscles on my back. The beauty of doing it this way is you control how much pressure you want to apply. It's a safer way to use the back core roller .If you do this in the floor its difficult to do you end up with your whole body weight pressure on your muscles this can be dangerousand painful!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😑🤗🤗 #massage #fitness #backmassage #violin #violinist #chello #drums #flute #orchestra #maestro #practice #violino #violinist #thedrunkenfiddler #keepfit #soremuscles #exercisetips #sportsofintagram #boxing #boxingengland #fitness #fitnessjourney #fitnesslifestyle
Day 255 ADULT BEGINNER VIOLINIST All for strings book 1 Exercise 80 SLOW BOWS Today in practicing slow bow, I need this so much, it's a good exercise and I could feel the weight of the up bow as got to the frog, it was a bit shaky and I heard a few strings crossing too but I managed for once to listen to the metronome! I'm still working on trying to flex my wrist movement. #violinist #thedrunkenfiddler #violintutorpro #violintips #violinhelp #violinteacher #violinlounge #violinbeginner #learning #suzukimethod #adultlearnerviolin #worldofstrings #perpetualmotionviolin # #meastro #orchestra
Happy humpday Wednesday everyone! During this time of uncertainty, I continue to work daily on my Musical violin career 🎻. Going live on platforms has become a job and requires so much to pull off correctly. The converted room for lives looks like a studio at this point 😂 🎻🎻🎻 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have had to shift so much from performing in real life to online performing but it’s been like a new chapter in my life 🙌. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As always, the best way to help me during this time is to follow on my social media platforms. Go enjoy my Spotify music and follow on there, or my YouTube. All have the same name- The Drunken Fiddler. I also now have a Facebook page which is fairly new. Every follow share, listen, helps me to grow my audience and allows me to continue this online Journey! 🎻🎻🎻 . . . . . . . . #spotify #videocreator #quarantinelife #quarantinedays #stuckinside #instaviolinist #musicmakers #violinplayer #onlinemusician #musicianlifestyle #musicianlife #violinistlife #musicforlifrle #lifeofamusician #recordingsession #violinistproblems #purple #coloredlights #makemusic #musicpractice #musicianproblems #thedrunkenfiddler #mic #studiolife #homestudio #gettingready
Made quite a few purchases over the last few months to improve my 🎻 music producing abilities. I’m quite proud of my improvements on my online performances and excited to continue on this journey of online music creation! 🎻 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Even with this said, it’s looking like music processing times have drastically increased. I have three songs waiting to be distributed and it’s been almost a month (used to take a week). It’s tough to stay on top of the next hit when it’s old news by the time I get all my stuff online. The best I can do is videos during this time and making them as entertaining as I possibly can. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Either way we are planning to do a better job of song research as well as just go with the flow. I’m very happy that my music is finally getting traction and I’m going to improve one step at a time. 😊🎻🎻🎻
A bit of music to brighten up your Friday! One of the last songs i was able to do in the studio but hopefully will be able to again at some point in the future. Either way, it was a fun time making this song which fits pretty well with my personality haha :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Go check it out on YT as well! And make sure to subscribe if you haven't already! Every subscriber helps to support me as a new musician. Starting to make a lot more music for the platforms and working hard on becoming an online musician during these hard times. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hope you all have a wonderful weekend, stay strong and lets make the best of the lemons that life has thrown at us! . . . . . . . . . . . #electricviolinist #quarantinemusic #thedrunkenfiddler #musicianofinstagram #musicforlife #instamusician #coronamusic #musicpractice #music #musicalinstruments #violinist #violin #violinplayer #violinplayerforlife #violinplayersofinstagram #musicmakers #musicianslife #instaviolinist #electricviolincover #violinistlife #lifeofaviolinist #violinistforlife #lifeasaviolinist #violinistlifestyle #violinplayers

Day 112 WARNING NOISE ALERT 🔊 ADULT LEARNER VIOLIN Open strings & straight bowing practice,string crossing today too.

I think I need to lift my elbow up and put more pressure on ? #openstringbluesviolin #openstrings #intonation #violintutorpro #thedrunkenfiddler #suzukimethod #worldofstrings #violintutorpro #violinadultbeginner #violinist #violinbeginner #adultlearnerviolin #violin_lb #violiist #suzukiteacher

I posted a clip of this a while back, but here is the full music video! This was the first song that we recorded last year and finally got around to getting all the licenses to put it on iTunes, amazon music, etc! Just look up The Drunken Fiddler and the song, as well as any other ones that have processed should be able to be bought! I recorded 5 songs in 2019 so i still have a couple that are waiting approval but here is a start! Now that I'll have stuff to sell, i can start making more videos like this in 2020. Lets just say, it costs quite a bit to make and shoot these music videos! Patreon is coming soon to help with that so stay tuned for more details on that in the next week or so! Once again, hope you all are having a great week/weekend and may this year bring us all good vibes and good times haha! . . . . . . . . . . #violincover #electricviolincover #electricviolinist #viperviolin #violinmusician #gayotter #pride #pridemusic #thedrunkenfiddler #igtv #igtvmusician #igtvmusicvideo #musiciansofinstagram #youneedtocalmdown #yntcd #lgbt #lgbtq🌈 #violin🎻 #violinplayer #electricviolin #instagay #scruffyhomo #scruffygay #gaypride2019 #taylorswiftcover
Living in middle class America, as a musician🎻, feels strange sometimes. One of my neighbors is a cop and one is a retired engineer. Both with families. I’m over here like I play violin and still have my 2006 Mazda 😂. I also get warnings from my HOA because my weeds get too tall sometimes in the summer😬. Life is what you make of it and I honestly break the mold in almost every way 🎻🥳. Normal life isn’t for everyone and that’s ok! 👍 . . . . . . . #middleclass #lifeofamusician #travelwork #gaybear #gay #wintervibes #winterdownsouth #idontfitin #differentperspective #motivationthursday #motivation💯 #itsokay #notsoordinary #cup #rainbow #lgbtthings #middleclassamerica #bluecar #reallifestory #beingreal #storyofmylife #winterlife #vests #beardsquad #scruffygay #thedrunkenfiddler #instagram
Day 102 Long, long ago Suzuki book 1 I'm just going through all the songs I've learnt so far I know they're not being played fantastically but I really enjoyed playing the songs that I've learnt so far the Suzuki books are very good the only downfall with them is there is no teaching on how to play the notes or any advice on actually learning the violin basically is good to learn with a teacher but I've backed it up with lots of tutorials from YouTube #violinist #thedrunkenfiddler #violintutorpro #violintips #violinhelp #violin #violintips #violintutorpro #violintips #violinhelp #violinteacher #violinlounge #violinbeginner #learning #suzukimethod

Extra video Day 87 Hallelujah Had another go at this one as it's easy going and sounds lovely. I think I'm improving a little. Still working on bowing technique as I need to bow straight and longer so tomorrow so work in front of the mirror. I keep reminding myself I've only been playing 87 days in total so I'm not doing to bad. Many thanks to everyone who has taken the time to like my post or offer encouragement or advice, it's very much appreciated.

Another non violin post. This was taken at 2pm after I got back from driving 8 hours on Monday. I was just exhausted and grabbed anything I could and slept 4 hours💤💤💤. I will be trying my best to put out a Christmas themed violin video this weekend though! 🥳 🎄🎻🎻🎻😊 Some of you have expressed concern that I don’t respond quickly. Please remember that I perform🎻, travel✈️, and make content🎥 every day. I do the best that I can to respond to everyone who dms me. 😊😊😊 Today I’m playing for a nursing home here in the upstate S.C. 😊🎻🎻🎻. Jonathan was going to take pictures and video but he has to catch up on video editing and such. Starting in January, he’s probably going to start traveling with me and recording shows and taking pictures to provide much more content across all the platforms. Just updating everyone and I hope you all have a great #humpday Wednesday! . . . . . . . . . #musicianlife #musicianlifestyle #travellife #travellife✈️ #tired #stuffedanimals #worklifestyle #workhardeveryday #workhardstayhumble #bedtime #naptime😴 #middayvibes #middaynap #gaybear #scruffygay #beardedgay #cutegay #tiredgay #contentcreator #timeforbed #notashamed #cuddly #nevertooold #thedrunkenfiddler #napsarelife #hairygay #musiciansofinstagram
Just a small insight into how i learn the songs i play whenever i perform or make videos. This time around i was learning Minuetto by Luigi Boccherini in order to do a Tik tok video i have been wanting to create. Normally the tik tok goes "rich boy check" and the song plays in the background so i wanted to play the actual song. This clip is just the ending of practicing for about an hour. Just to play 15 seconds haha. This may be a bit boring but at least you get to see the work behind the scenes :) Of course it didn't get as many views as my other funny Tiktoks but i still had a good amount of views and likes on it! The Tiktok algorithm doesn't like my violin much. I may post the tiktok on my story later. . . . . . . . . #igtv #igtvmusic #igtvvideo #igtvmusician #igtvviolin #violin #violinist #electricviolinist #electricviolin #luigiboccherini #classicalmusic #violinpractice #practice #practicevideo #violincover #viperviolin #igtvcreator #gaymusician #musiciansofinstagram #violinistsofinstagram #thedrunkenfiddler #electricviolincover #gayviolinist #viperelectricviolin #minuetto #tiktok #tiktoker
Recently I have found a new respect for youtubers 🎥 and social media content producers in general. I’ve always thought it was easy and that anyone could do it, but that’s far from the truth. Time is something we all take for granted and time is something that all these content producers sacrifice ⏰. Jonathan took this picture of me lost in thought as I was getting ready to leave again at 7 am a day ago. That was after staying up till 1am going live, making TikToks, and planning a music video all day 🎻🎻🎻. I’m eating a pre prepared meal that I buy from a gym friend because I don’t have much time to cook. I even have writing on my hand of items I needed to take care of. Drove 6 hours to Virginia for a gig, and now driving back to South Carolina to make another gig in Simpsonville today 🙀. I now understand the picture Lindsey Stirling posted of her just completely tired and no make up, this lifestyle isn’t for everyone. 🎻🎻🎻 Even with this said, I’m starting to really love content producing now that I’m getting people who enjoy it and interact with it 😃! As I said before, I’m nowhere close to famous, but you all make me feel like I am! And that’s all that matters 🥳🤩 . . . . . . . . #healthymealprep #thursdaythoughts #thirstythurs #gaybear #beardedgay #gaybearded #scruffygay #gayscruff #gayscruffy #lifeofamusician #earlymorningwork #workmotivation #thursdaymotivation #motivation💯 #workhardplayhard #vest #busylife #gay #tiktokers #tiktokersofinstagram #beardsofinsta #beardsofinstagram #lifelessons #lostinthought #thedrunkenfiddler #blackclothes
Day 77 PERPETUAL MOTION Again trying to get through this piece of music I find this one quite difficult Managed to get all the way through this song today a few wrong notes in the middle it sounded a bit wonky but if I keep working on this I'm sure I can get it more fluent I need to work on the bowing to be a little bit better than what it is I can see that just by looking at the video back but I'm pleased I have managed to get through the bit I was stuck on for a week which was lined for of the sheet music I have cheated a little bit by writing the notes on the sheet which I don't normally do that as I'm a beginner violinist and a beginner reading sheet music I. I've had a great day today I want a chin rest from a German company who make them professionally so chuffed about that I can't wait for it to come. @coetetzj #violintutorpro #thedrunkenfiddler #suzukimethod #deathgripviolin #violintutorpro #violintips #violinhelp #violinteacher #violinlounge #violinbeginner #learning #suzukimethod #adultlearnerviolin #worldofstrings #perpetualmotionviolin #violinhelp # #violin #violins #suzukiviolin

Hope everyone is having a great weekend already, and here is some Celtic fiddle to hopefully make it better! 🎻🎻🎻🎻 One thing about me is that I love to play my violin 🎻 at bars and pubs. It’s just who I am (plus I am The Drunken Fiddler 😂). This was at our local pizzeria/ bar 🍺 in town. Sadly my corporate gig schedule prevents me from making it to many cities 🥺. I know a lot of you ask me to go play violin abroad, but maybe one day I’ll have the ability to break the corporate gig grind that I’m on. 🥳🥳🥳✈️✈️✈️ . . . . . . #celticviolin #viperviolin #violinvideo #electricviolin #violinperformance #pubmusic #barmusic #electricviolinist #violinist #gaymusician #celticmusic #brickhouse #saturdaymusic #saturdayfunday #video #musiccover #covermusic #violin🎻 #gay #thedrunkenfiddler #cover #fiddle #fiddlemusic #musiclover🎶 #nightmusic #violinfun #grind
Played so hard last night that I ended up breaking my g string 😂🎻🎻🎻🎻 Hope everyone is having as much fun on this #tgif Friday! 🥳🥳🥳 Had to throw in some humor for being slow on getting the next violin song out. Will be back home tomorrow after Florida today. Yes I traveled from SC to VA to FL and back to SC in a span of 3 days 😂 ✈️ Will be going live early next week to make up! I’ll post the date and time on my story. 🎻🎻🎻🎻 . . . . . . . #night #nightlife #lifeofamusician #violinstring #humor #fridaymotivation #workinghard #gaysofinstagram #nightselfie #gayselfie #havingfun😄 #gayfun #gaymusician #travellife #thedrunkenfiddler #teamnosleep🚫 #bearded #beardsofinstagram #scruffylife #virginia #worklifebalanced #funnyisfunny #nightlifestyle #gaylife🌈 #gaybear #wonderfullife
Day 71 Hallelujah by Lenard cohan Had anther go at this today as it's easy going and helps me to bow fluently. It's not a bed effort altogether few wrong notes and a little squeaky. #violinist #thedrunkenfiddler #violinhelp #violin #violinteacher #violinlounge #violinbeginner #learning #gotellau #suzukimethod #worldofstrings
Day 70 ADULT LEARNER VIOLIN Perpetual motion Suzuki book 1 I'm still picking away at this song hopefully at some point I'll be able to play the whole thing through even though I know I haven't got the invitation right and I haven't got the Bow right but if I can learn the notes hopefully I'm halfway there then I can work on the other things it's such a lot to work on when you can't read sheet music by sight and I'm having to read each note slowly individually hopefully at some point I'll be able to read music fluently if I keep trying and stop bobbing around too 🤣 #violinist #thedrunkenfiddler #violinhelp #violinteacher #violinlounge #violinbeginner #learning #suzukimethod #adultlearnerviolin #worldofstrings
Happy #humpday Wednesday everyone! 🎻🎻🎻 hope everyone is having a productive week! Just wanted to talk about the next two months and what I’m working on. 🎻🎻🎻 I mentioned before that I would like to create more online content for everyone to enjoy. In order to achieve this I will be starting a Patreon page and Thedrunkenfiddler.com website , by end of January, to help reach my goals. The Patreon page will also be a way for me to more easily connect and interact with people that truly support me for the content I create. It currently takes a team of three of us to just keep up with the social media and make the content itself. It was much harder than we originally thought. Especially since we all three have our own “day jobs”. We will still be producing normal content on social media but Patreon will allow us to put up more behind the scenes and unedited content (like the pics in this post, or just me practicing)! And those who pledge get benefits such as the intro tier getting the song I produce EACH month free for download! 🎻🎻🎻 It’s a new frontier, but one that will allow me to get more resources to make the stuff you guys like 😍 If you read all that above, thank you for enjoying the content and supporting me in every way shape or form. You guys are the best! ❤️❤️❤️🎻🎻🎻🎻 . . . . . . #patreon #futuregoals #workhard #violinist #electricviolinist #thedrunkenfiddler #contentcreator #gayfriends #gay #motivation💯 #musicinfluencer #truthful #stayhumblehustlehard #friends #music #musiccreator #covermusician #futureprofessional #startingabusiness #gaymusician #honesttalk #violinlife #entrepreneurship #beardedgays
Trying out some of the new effect pedals on the electric violin 🎻🎻 🎻🎻 I didn’t have the background track playing so it may sound a bit weird but my friends from England liked it a lot 🙂 What do you guys think? 🎻🎻🎻 . . . . . . . . #electricviolin #violin #viperviolin #effectspedals #violinmusician #thedrunkenfiddler #gaybear #scruffygay #gayscruff #gaymusician #musiciansofinstagram #practicepracticepractice #gayotter #beardedgay #bearded #coolsound #musicvideoclip #violinist #violincover #musiccover #violinlife #musicianlifestyle #friends #mondaymotivation #new #funvideo #notwhatyouthink
