Hartford's Mammoth Marathon Ch 1

Brittany & Natalie Haas and friends sight-read all 176 original fiddle tunes from the book, John Hartford's Mammoth Collection of Fiddle Tunes in front of a live audience on October 7, 2024 in Nashville, TN. The show was live streamed by The Violin Shop, Nashville. There are ten chapters in the book; this video contains all the tunes from Chapter 1.
Chapters 1-10 will reside on the John Hartford Official RUclips channel ‪@BGRASS2001‬ and will also be posted on Facebook on both the John Hartford page and The Violin Shop, Nashville page.
John Hartford composed over 4,000 fiddle tunes between 1983 and 2001; those tunes were found in sixty-eight music composition books after his passing. 176 of those tunes have been published in the the book, John Hartford's Mammoth Collection of Fiddle Tunes, written by Matt Combs, Greg Reish, and Katie Harford Hogue (John's daughter). Our hope is that these tunes will go out into the "fiddleverse", to be played and enjoyed by the community for years to come.
These same tunes leap off the page on the albums, The John Hartford Fiddle Tune Project, Vol. 1 (produced by Matt Combs and Katie Harford Hogue), and the soon-to-be-released Julia Belle: The John Hartford Fiddle Tune Project, Vol. 2 (produced by Sharon Gilchrist, Megan Lynch Chowning, and Katie Harford Hogue). For these recordings, some of your favorite acoustic musicians were asked to choose their favorite tune, then brought in studio to interpret that tune through their own filter. The results are stunning.
