RUE FRISBEE
 |
I come from a musical family in Emmett, Idaho. My father was an excellent guitar and fiddle player (Idaho state champion) and my sister was a Grand National champion in the junior division at the Weiser National Fiddle Contest. I started my musical career playing backup guitar for my father and sister. Soon I got hooked on fiddle and played every chance I got. I toured the northwest playing every fiddle contest I could for about ten years. I won some I thought I should have lost, and lost some I thought I should have won. At the Weiser, I never placed out of the top five and won first place in the Northwest Regional contest. |
I burned out on competing and turned to playing jam sessions behind the scenes. I’ve played guitar and fiddle with several groups over the years – most notably Downwind, Too Far Gone and (most recently) Buckhorn Mountain Boys. I am excited to be playing with Bona Fide and our blend of bluegrass, country and folk. It’s always a pleasure to play in a group of very talented musicians. |
