Fiddling Zone with Gus Garelick

Mondays at 8 pm

The Fiddling Zone is a place where fiddling is permitted. It’s a place where you can hear fiddlers play and talk about what they do and what they like, and what they don’t like. Fiddlers are very iconoclastic people. Actually, that’s not a word most fiddlers would use. But Gus Garelick is not like most fiddlers, and when he gets into the Zone, on the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month, he’s likely to play almost anything, from West Virginia campground sessions to the latest Brazilian Choro music. It may not even include a fiddle; it could be an all-accordion program, or all mandolins, or all Italian or all Blues. It’s ALL in the Fiddling Zone.
