I've written near 800 tunes in my 52 years of fiddling and have recorded 71 albums to date. Each tune has a story and I'm here to tell you those stories. When covid-19 hit, our performing life came to a crashing halt but when I was out performing, my shows were filled with stories of my tunes. So now we look for a new way to promote the music and old Cal is doing a podcast.

The last episode of 2020. Well it's been quite the year. Very devastating for many and I can say 1st hand, the music business has taken a big big hit. But we need to find the silver lining in everything and I have had to step outside of my normal life and do something else. I've been able to stay in the music business but take on different roles. I became a video editor for a couple of huge projects and now my podcast. Who knew?
So as we bid 2020 adieu, we look forward to 2021 and hopefully with the vaccine and it's promise, we will see an improvement in well being. Thanks covid-19 for making find new things to find myself busy.
I'm hoping you'll go to my website www.calvinvollrath.com and look at all my products, cds, mp3 downloads, sheet music, video lessons, maybe you'll find jams & jellies (I doubt that though) and maybe purchase something...

Thanks for tuning in. In this episode, as it gets published on Dec 6, 2020, you'll hear more Calvin stories and fiddle music from his travels and inspirations. Even a couple of Christmas pieces that he has wrote. 46 minutes to sit back, relax & listen to Calvin, as he lets you into his world of music & thought. Each episode gets published on Sundays at 2 pm (MST), so if you have the app installed on your device, for whichever podcast stream you're listening to, they should just appear and you're set to go. You can even download them into your smartphone so when you're driving down the road and you're tired of commercial radio, you can listen to The Story Behind the Tunes and not use up your data plan. How cool is that? I hope you enjoy.
I do have a tip jar setup if you feel inclined to make a donation. Click here.
Thank you & feel free to share!!!

Welcome to episode 1. I'm a fiddler that has made my living for 45 years in the music business. I have 71 albums out and have composed near 800 tunes. Every tune has a story.
When I was performing, before covid, my shows consisted of me playing my original tunes and telling the stories of my tunes. Now you'll hear the stories and the tune on my podcast, in hopes that you may like the music and be enticed to possibly buy a CD or MP3 download from my website, www.calvinvollrath.com.
