Jeremy Crosmer
Jeremy Crosmer, an outstanding and award winning cellist, started studying cello at age four. By age eleven, always eager to expand his horizons, Crosmer decided to start playing violin as well. Sadly, during his first violin lesson, a teacher told him that he would never be as good at classical violin as he was on cello. So instead, he switched to playing old time fiddle music. Crosmer's two biggest influences early in his fiddle playing were his teacher, Tim Trawick, and the Old Time Fiddler's Association of Conway, Arkansas. From Mr. Trawick, Crosmer learned both the important techniques for playing violin and also the strategies for improvising and adopting the different styles of fiddle playing. The Fiddler's Association was the first place Crosmer could freely improvise and play by ear in public.
A stellar fiddle player, Crosmer won first place in the Junior Division at the Arkansas State Old Time Fiddlers Contest in 2002.
Jonathan Trawick
Jonathan Trawick loves to play guitar. His specialty is Texas style fiddle accompaniment, a challenging jazz based rhythm that demands advanced knowledge of chords and inversions of chords all along the guitar neck. Being the son of fiddler Tim Trawick, Jonathan couldn’t learn guitar without learning to back up fiddle tunes. His excellent rhythm work won him the best accompanist award at the 2007 Arkansas State Fiddle Championships. Also a big fan of bluegrass, Jonathan is becoming a proficient flat picker. Hear his good guitar work on the CD Crosmer – Trawick, a project that he also initiated and produced.
