Holiday For Fiddlers brings a rich South Dakota fiddle heritage to the stage, blending swing, folk, and bluegrass with Celtic and classical touches.

Biographies and discography highlight a lineage that includes Kenny Putnam, a two-time South Dakota fiddle champion who toured with Roy Clark and contributed to the Red Willow Band, alongside Tom Schaefer, a three-time SD State Fiddle Champion with extensive regional performances.
