Fiddlers ReStrung Spring Hometown Concert Featuring The Jeremy Kittel Band

Fiddlers ReStrung is pleased to announce that Saline native and local favorite Jeremy Kittel and his Jeremy Kittel Band will appear with the Saline group at their Spring Hometown Concert at Saline Middle School on Saturday, May 7, 2011 at 7:00 pm.

 

The concert is certain to be a much in demand event and represents a homecoming for Jeremy after a grueling schedule that has included the release of a new CD.  He has performed multiple times with Fiddlers ReStrung in the past, and of course is an alumnus of the Saline Area Schools program precursor group, the Fiddlers Philharmonic.

In Saline we know fiddler Jeremy Kittel as a native performer who was stirring up excitement in Michigan's Celtic music scene even during the days when he had to be dropped off to play gigs. At this point in his career, the 24-year-old musician has challenged himself at every turn, branching out into bluegrass, jazz, and, as a member of the award-winning Turtle Island Quartet, classical music. Now he lives and works all over the country and the globe.
