Portland Old Time Music Gathering 2019

The 20th annual Gathering happened on January 16-20, 2019 and it was a blast!. Our visiting Artist in Residence, Nokosee Fields, is an amazing and multi-talented fiddler and bass player. Born and raised in Stillwater, Oklahoma, Nokossee began studying orchestral violin at a young age. After years of learning and performing Classical and Early music, Nokosee has recently turned his attention to various forms of traditional American music, performing, teaching, and touring professionally. As a bassist, he tours with the Country band Western Centuries. As a teacher, he has taught at the Augusta Heritage Center and has been involved with Dancing with the Spirit—an Alaska-based youth and community music program that aims to re-inspire fiddle and dance traditions in indigenous communities throughout the region. Nokosee visited the BRAVO Youth Orchestra programs in North Portland, performed concerts and led workshops at the Old Time Gathering.

You can order your own copy or get one for a gift (recommended – the beautiful case design and liner notes are well worth the extra couple dollars) or download it directly by clicking the image.
