Bio
Emily Ann Thompson’s fiddling has been called “organic, fresh, and full of passion.” She plays traditional Irish, Scottish, and Cape Breton tunes in an innovative and energetic style. She is currently performing Celtic fiddle as a solo artist and will be releasing a new Celtic fiddle album in the summer of 2008.
Emily has performed at many different venues and festivals including the Indy Irish Fest, Broad Ripple Art Fair, Valley of the Wind, Indianapolis Arts Garden, Carmel International Arts Festival, Zionsville Concert Series, Anderson International Festival, and with the Anderson Symphony Orchestra as a guest soloist, among many other venues. As a former member of the group Alair, she released an album with them in 2006.
Emily has been playing violin since age 11. She graduated from Butler University with a degree in music. Her main influences include Celtic fiddlers Natalie MacMaster and Eileen Ivers, old-time fiddler Bruce Molsky, jazz violinist Stephane Grapelli, and fiddle virtuoso Mark O’Conner. Drawing from many different musicians and different types of world music, she truly has created her own unique style of Celtic fiddling.
