Roger Netherton & Teddy Breihan

Teddy Breihan (piano) and Roger Netherton (violin) met in Japan while studying abroad in 2015. Immediately a musical spark grew between them, drawing on Teddys background as a versatile pianist and Rogers experience as a multi-genre fiddle player. Over the following years, their collaboration culminated in an album showcasing Teddys compositions as well as some classic duo improvisations (available at teddybreihan.bandcamp.com/releases).

Teddy Breihan was born and raised in Milwaukee and has been playing piano since a young age. Hes performed with a number of musical acts around the Milwaukee area as well as in St. Louis, meanwhile building his own original repertoire of evocative themes inspired by places and personalities, ranging in mood from energetic to contemplative.

Roger Netherton taught himself to play fiddle at age 11. Now, ten years later, he is well known for his powerful style and prize-winning performances at national, regional, and local competitions. Traditional old-time music remains one of his central interests, even as he has branched out to such styles as gypsy jazz, swing, and blues. He plays regularly at dances, shows, and festivals within and beyond his home of St. Louis.
