We’re happy to announce that the talented Dale Russ has joined Peghead Nation’s roster of instructors to teach Irish Fiddle. In Dale’s course, which has just launched, you’ll learn traditional Irish fiddle, with an emphasis on playing the dance music of Ireland, including jigs, reels, polkas, slip jigs, hornpipes, and more, with an Irish feel and rhythm.

Watch Dale’s course overview video above, and get started today learning Irish Fiddle on Peghead Nation.

Martin Hayes has called Dale Russ “one of the greatest fiddlers I know in Irish traditional music” and few who hear Dale play the fiddle would disagree. Dale has been playing Irish fiddle since his move in 1973 from his native Connecticut to Washington State, where he is now regarded as “the shining jewel of Northwest fiddle players.”
