🎙 IN THIS EPISODE
Ep 1 | David Varnado
In this episode, we sit down with award-winning fiddle player David Varnado. David shares stories from his decades on the road, playing with legends like Loretta Lynn, Johnny Paycheck, Merle Haggard, Chris LeDoux, and many more. We talk about his early days playing in beer joints at 12 years old, the changing landscape of country music, and what it’s like balancing session work with touring life. David also reflects on the fading presence of the fiddle in modern country, professionalism on the road, and offers heartfelt advice from years in the business.
