Welcome

I am Chad Miller, a traditional fiddler deeply rooted in the musical heritage of New York State. My playing revives the spirited jigs, reels, waltzes and hornpipes of days gone by. Specializing in Old-Time, Canadian, and Northeast styles, I draw inspiration from the rustic sounds that echoed through early rural communities. I am a proud 2016 inductee into the New York State Fiddlers Hall of Fame, a recognition of my enduring commitment to preserving these historical melodies.

Historical Performances & Venues

Bringing History to Life Through Music

I offer specialized, period-authentic musical programs for living history museums, historical societies, local libraries, and educational heritage events. From Erie Canal era celebrations to traditional community barn dances, my performances are carefully tailored to enrich historical programming and transport visitors back in time.

Call to Central New York Musicians

Forming a Traditional Tunes Club

I am currently seeking local instrumentalists in the Central New York area to form an informal music circle and tunes club. If you play the piano, guitar, mandolin, hammered dulcimer, or concertina, and share a passion for traditional music and performing for local historical societies, I would be delighted to connect. Let us gather to keep this music alive.

New York State Old Time Fiddlers Association

Heritage & Association History

For decades, I have been a proud and active member of the New York State Old Time Fiddlers Association, with deep roots in the Central Chapter. My involvement in this community is driven by a profound respect for our regional folk traditions and a desire to ensure these historical tunes remain vibrant for generations to come.
