Fiddle Express is a sibling trio from Idaho consisting of Andrew, Eliza, and Rachel Beck. They perform both picking and singing, but their Christmas release for Gravy Records is a medley of instrumental arrangements of holiday fare, titled A Christmas Medley.
As you might guess from the band name, they are all three fiddlers, having won honors in competitions throughout their teen years and earlier, but they also double on other instruments as well.
On A Christmas Medley, Andrew is heard on mandolin and guitar, Eliza on fiddle and guitar, and Rachel on fiddle. Jesse Blue Eads plays the bass. The track includes favorites like God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Deck the Halls, Jingle Bells, You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch, and Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
It’s all well played, and thoughtfully constructed, with threads of bluegrass and new acoustic music intertwined.
Have a listen.
A Christmas Medley from Fiddle Express is available now from popular download and streaming services online, and to radio programmers via AirPlay Direct.
