Jeremy Kittel, trained in Saline, has earned a reputation as one of the most exceptional violinists and fiddlers of his generation. With tremendous musicality; a rare mastery of styles as diverse as jazz, Scottish and Irish fiddle, bluegrass, classical music, and more; a unique compositional voice, and an “exhilarating stage presence” (Strings magazine), Kittel inspires listeners and fans worldwide through his solo work and collaborations with musical giants My Morning Jacket, Jars of Clay, Mark O’Connor, Abigail Washburn, Camera Obscura, Bela Fleck, Laura Veirs, Aoife O’Donovan, Paquito D’Rivera, Stefon Harris, and many more. He also recently completed a five-year full time position in the Grammy-winning Turtle Island String Quartet. Jeremy currently resides in Brooklyn, New York, and can sometimes be spotted climbing trees and wandering the wild woods of Central and Prospect Parks. Tonight he appears in a genre-spanning new trio that includes Joshua Pinkham, recently featured on the cover of Mandolin magazine and Quinn Bachand, called “Canada’s top Celtic guitarist” by Ashley MacIsaac. "Roots, Celtic, newgrass / new acoustic, folk—we’ll be covering a lot of territory," Jeremy says.
