THE GRIMES GIRLS

At sixteen and eighteen years of age, the grimes girls, Natalie and Kathleen, have been branching out from years of training in classical violin, piano, flute, and music theory.  Although the sisters have been fiddling for two years, they have already earned numerous awards across their home state of Indiana, including second place in the junior division of the 2007 Indiana State Fair fiddle Contest and first place in the bluegrass division of the renowned Fayette County (IN) fiddle Contest. the grimes girls are especially known for delighting audiences with their renditions of Draggin’ the Bow and The Orange Blossom Special.  Their most recent adventure, into the world of Celtic fiddling, has opened up yet another dimension of music for their audiences to enjoy.  Their first performance of Celtic fiddling was just this last September in Columbus, Indiana, at the Columbus Scottish Festival.  Since then they have been sharpening their skills and widening their Celtic repertoire with performances at Burns Suppers in Carmel, Indiana and Louisville, Kentucky, as well as at the Indianapolis Liederkrantz.  The girls look forward to sharing their debut year of Celtic fiddling with you at the 2008 Glasgow Highland Games!  Until then check our web site under construction at www.grimesgirls.com
