Fiddler
Bluegrass US né à Henryville (Indiana)
Henryville,
IN, native Michael Cleveland quickly became known as one of the hottest
attractions in bluegrass, aptly achieving recognition for his blistering and
unconventional fiddle style, not for the fact that he is blind. His love for
bluegrass began early, and in 1990 he first appeared at
Bill Monroe's renowned Bean Blossom
Festival. In 1993, at the age of 13, he appeared as fellow fiddler
Alison Krauss' guest at the Grand
Ole Opry, soon appearing on A Prairie Home Companion and playing before
the U.S. Congress. In May of 1999, after graduating from the Kentucky School for
the Blind, Cleveland joined Dale Ann Bradley and the Coon Creek Girls. Along
with his work with the Coon Creek Girls, he released two independent CDs — One
for Mac dedicated to Kentucky fiddler Mac McBane, and Sawing on the C String. He
joined Rhonda Vincent and the Rage
in February 2000, and his work on the Rounder album Back Home Again
earned him the prestigious International Bluegrass Music Association's
Instrumental Performer of the Year in the fiddle category. Rounder Records next
released two Cleveland albums, Flame Keeper in 2002 and Let 'Er Go,
Boys in 2006.
