Classical Violin To Fiddle To Pedal Steel With Andrea Whitt On My latest Podcast
In this week’s podcast episode, I speak with the amazing Andrea Whitt, a pedal steel, fiddle, and viola player.
Andrea has toured with Shania Twain, recorded on Grammy award winning albums, and performed and recorded with dozens of other musicians including Journey, Deep Purple, Stevie Wonder, John Legend, Halsey, and Phil Lesh.
An accomplished visual artist, Andrea is regularly commissioned for paintings in her signature ink, watercolor, and oil styles, and her work can be found on her Boho Bunnie site.
Andrea is also an exceptionally versatile arranger and composer, and was commissioned to write two pieces for the International Viola Congress.
As a guest clinician for schools and music conferences, she instructs young string players in improvisation and multi-genre performances.
In this episode, Andrea and I talked about how she became a pedal steel player, how fiddle and pedal steel play a similar role in a band, her unique painting style, keeping her art life and music life separate, going from Brazilian jazz to EDM to country music, and so much more.
