Travis Wetzel is a man to the fiddle what Dale Earnhardt Sr. was to stock car racing.
Working with Travis has been one of the highlights of my musical career. He is the greatest.
He's phenomenal. One of the best fiddlers I've ever heard. Power, drive, clarity, taste... Wetzel's fiddling has a rich tonality.
Electrifying concert performance... The mesmerized audience responded with a standing ovation.
