From Cyrus Clarke's Bio
"Phil Salazar is a master fiddler who straddles
the borders between traditional bluegrass and contemporary
sound. He is a southern California veteran who has fielded
his own band, produced several recordings, and created
the blazing twin fiddle sound of the Acousticats."
From Acadiana's Bio
"Sure, he could play Mozart symphonies. Beethoven
even. But you got to have more than the classics when
you are Fiddlin' Phil Salazar! Fiddle champion Phil
Salazar is Acadiana's playful spirit. He plays his fiddle
forwards, backwards, and all around the room. Phil is
a fiddle favorite and has been sought out from all over
by many fiddle students for his unique style of teaching.
Phil does lots of studio work, performs with lots of
musicians over the years. He's hot! And he adds that
heat to Acadiana!" |
