David Blackmon started classical violin training at the age of nine, but took up fiddling a couple of years after that. He and his father and brother started a bluegrass band, The Crackerland Bluegrass Boys, and he played in numerous regional bands in his teens.
Dave is a renowned fiddler with roots firmly planted in traditional and bluegrass music. In the 1980s, he toured and recorded with country music legend Jerry Reed. David is also a founding member of Blueground Undergrass, a veteran of the Normaltown Flyers and has shared the stage with the likes of Vassar Clements, Sam Bush and Jerry Douglas.
Having toured and recorded extensively with Widespread Panic, David is considered by many to be a pioneer in fusing bluegrass with blues, jazz and rock yet keeping old time sensibilities. David has come back to his more traditional roots with his latest, highly successful band, Curley Maple, which he founded with his wife Noel. In addition to his busy performing schedule, David also enjoys teaching music in private and in workshops.
