The happy, elevated atmosphere - quite like a kitchen party - Instrumental Stories February event was impacted in a positive way, by a surprise snowstorm.
)A surprise snowstorm in Calgary transformed the Instrumental Stories performance into an intimate kitchen party, offering fiddler Scott Duncan the opportunity to entertain and educate his audience in a cozy setting.
Mentor Grandpa Herb Duncan would have encouraged the show to go on. With his trusty fiddle in hand, Scott Duncan recounted his musical journey, shaped by Grandpa Herb, to his involvement in today's local music scene. From playing in grandpa's kitchen in Maple Creek, Saskatchewan, to competing with grandpa in fiddle competitions, to recent recordings with many Western Canadian musicians, including the late music legend, Ian Tyson.
Shelving formalities, the evening embraced audience interaction, foot tapping, and laughter, creating a lively atmosphere. Scott's passion for music and his instrument was evident as he shared his eclectic repertoire and clarified the distinction between fiddle and violin playing. He even took requests.
"All the people I've played with, been involved with, and have learned from, have really influenced the musician I've become," says Scott. "That hometown feeling – it's difficult to express what Calgary means to me and what it's meant to my evolution as a musician. I'm lucky to have so many mentors, teachers and friends who've made a difference in my journey.
