But you already know that, because you’re reading these here lines.

The new host for Fiddle Club of the World blog is DrDosido.net.
DrDosido = Paul Tyler, the convener of the Chicago Chapter (thus far the only chapter).

The entire history of the blog is being spit polished and spruced up, to make sure all the music links successfully made the move. Past posts of interesting tunes &c. will be highlighted on future “Throwback Thursdays.” Follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

You’re welcome, of course, to browse anytime back through six-and-a-half years of tunes, pictures, and features. Hundreds of tunes have been posted over that time span from our 44 featured guests and other points of interest. Our guests have come from eight different countries. Fifteen US states have been represented, as well as over a dozen music styles and ethnic traditions.

Since 2013, Fiddle Club of the World guest artist meetings have been hosted by Seman Violins (4447 W. Oakton) in Skokie, Illinois. Monthly, more or less, jam sessions are held at the Leadway Bar & Grill (5233 N. Damen) in Chicago. The usual time for a session is 7pm on the 3rd Sunday of the month. Check this blog for updates. A new season of guests will start in September with Pete Sutherland and Pete’s Posse.

Big plans are being made to expand Fiddle Club’s web presence. Check back this summer for guidelines on how to start a chapter in your home town. And we are working on the 12th Midwest Fiddle Championship on July 11th and the 3rd annual Battle of the Bands on July 12th. Both will be held at the Old Town School of Folk Music’s Square Roots Festival.
