Lord of the Fiddle-Face?
I ran across this story over the weekend while I was doing some browsing.
SooToday.com is a news reporting website for Sault Ste. Marie, Canada. It seems they don’t know much about fiddling at SooToday. They think this photo represents mastery of “fiddle-face,” which they define as
The demanding art of disfiguring your face like a rock guitarist
We could argue that definition itself. Who says rock guitarists set the standard for facial disfigurement? Anyway…as I thought about it I became increasingly convinced that the best “fiddle-face” masters are to be found in the bluegrass fiddling community. A quick google images search held up my hypothesis.
I’m sure many of you may have images even to rival these. Well, go ahead and send them in and we’ll post a gallery of the best “fiddle faces” in bluegrass.
Send your “fiddle face” photo to images@thebluegrassblog.com.


Halloween seems an appropriate day to release out gallery of Fiddle Faces. Some of these were sent in...
