Todd Meade, 18 year old son of John and Sharon Meade from Nickelsville, Virginia, is the new fiddler
for The Clinch Mountain Boys. He is a 2003 graduate of Twin Springs High School and has been
playing for ten years. Before joining the ranks of being a full time musician, Todd played with a
regional group called “Twin Springs”. His fiddle is French made around the 1920’s. Todd’s
old-time sound keeps toes tappin’ during breaks and fiddle tunes. In his spare time, Todd is
also the fiddle instructor at Mountain Empire Community College in Big Stone Gap, Va. (For information
on the class, contact the college at 276-523-7464). His greatest inspiration was his great
grandfather, "Uncle" Charlie Osborne. Charlie played for Todd when Todd was only eleven days old
and Todd tried to play his first fiddle at the age of eleven months. He has been playing since
the age of eight. Todd has already been winning the hearts of audiences all over the country
with his friendly smile and spirited fiddling. He is a welcome new addition to the band! |
