Fiddle player, singer-songwriter, violinist - one discipline blends into another for polyglot Libby Weitnauer. With her “rippling Smoky Mountain voice” (WMOT), catchy songwriting, and Grammy-award winning fiddle playing, she has become a fixture of Nashville’s local Americana scene since moving in 2020. She’s shared stages with names such as Kelsey Waldon and Margo Price with mentions of her contributions as both a player and a songwriter appearing in NPR, Rolling Stone, No Depression, Glide Magazine, the Nashville Scene and beyond. While her songs root themselves in a melody-driven dissection of her emotional landscape, her fiddling springs from a twenty-seven year relationship with the instrument. No matter which hat Weitnauer wears at any given time, she brings a unique combination of grit and beauty to listeners’ ears - a tug-of-war that is palpable on her forthcoming debut album, Freehand.
