Boho Bunnie goes to fiddle camp!

What’s the difference between a violin and a fiddle? A violin has strings and a fiddle has STRANGS!

In less than I week I’m headed to Ohio to go to fiddle camp! Yes, I’m well into my professional career as a musician, but there will always be a drive to learn more! I trained as a classical violist since I was nine, studied jazz in college, play in rock bands in LA, but ever since I landed a spot in Shania Twain’s band I’m totally into country music and bluegrass! I have 4 months off until our next run with Shania in October, so I’ve decided to make the best of my summer by studying fiddle music, taking vocal lessons, and working on my pedal steel guitar. I’ve laid out some essentials that I absolutely must take with me on my trip.

Dress, Free People (older) / Coco macaroons, Hail Merry / Fringe Purse, Cut and Paste Bags / Yamaha digital recorder / Headband, Vida Kush / Fiddle strings, Dominant / Booties, Clarks / Purse-size hair volumizer, Shu Uemurma / Bracelets, Ettika

About these faves: Free People dresses are the most comfortable items to wear in the summer; can’t live without my Hail Merry coco macaroons (I think I eat at least a couple everyday); Cut and Paste bags make the BEST fringe purses…if you want some eye candy follow them on instagram; super easy-to-use (and high quality) Yamaha digital recorder; Vida Kush headband purchased from my favorite LA flea market; Clarks shoes are ALL super comfy (even ones with heels); Shu Uemurma is the best thing that’s happened to my hair–if you have fine hair and need volume in a flash this is your product; Ettika bracelets are a staple in my bracelet collection.

So really, what is the difference between a violin and fiddle? Absolutely nothing! When you’re playing bluegrass or country music–sometimes jazz and rock–a violin is referred to as a “fiddle” because of the style of music. So “rosin up your bow and play that fiddle hard!” – Charlie Daniels
