Michael Cleveland and Flamekeeper

“He plays fearless… He takes no prisoners but he plays with a restraint and a soul. He plays without abandon.” —Country Music Hall of Famer Vince Gill

As International Bluegrass Musicians Association’s most-awarded Fiddle Player of the Year with twelve wins, plus multiple other IBMA’s, a 2019 Grammy award, and his 2018 induction to the National Fiddler Hall of Fame, jaw-dropping fiddler Michael Cleveland picked up the instrument when he was four years old, and has delivered blistering performances ever since as a sought-after musician, performing with Vince Gill, Marty Stuart, Tim O’Brien, Bela Fleck, Andy Statman, and The Kruger Brothers. “It’s wicked to see how much music he pulls out of a bow,” said Vince Gill. “He’s untouchable.”
