Norm Ashley

Norm Ashley decided to take on "fiddling" several years ago. Before that, he was a strictly classical guy, teaching violin, playing in symphonies, and conducting our local community choir, The Schumann Singers.

Norm is retired from the Grand Junction Symphony, where he was concertmaster for more than thirty years. He enjoys playing with Fifth Reel,  Rosewood & Ivory and Tea for Two as a fiddler. He has a brother-in-law, Glenn Dauphin, who is a member of two bluegrass bands in the San Francisco bay area. At Glenn's invitation, Norm has had the pleasure of fiddling with both those bands, Sidesaddle & Co., and High Country, the two longest running bands in the bay area.
