More Info:

When I began explaining my smart solar greenhouse prototype to a few

musicians recently and how I planned a crowdfunding campaign to

manufacture them, I got a benefit offer from an unexpected source - a

musician gardener who last played in my living room with the Judith

Edelman band back 13 years ago!

Casey Driessen is?like his music?inspired, unconventional and truly original. An early diet of Bluegrass, Jazz, and Western Swing grounded him with a respect for tradition while Berklee College of Music burst open the door to technology, music from around the globe, and introduced him to The Funk. This diversity has created a distinct and soulful approach to the fiddle and led to collaborations with artists such as Béla Fleck (& the Flecktones), Bassekou Kouyate, Tim O'Brien, Darrell Scott, Steve Earle, & Zac Brown Band.

Casey's style of funky fiddle rhythm is quickly earning him the

reputation as the leader of "The Chop," a new percussive bow technique

permeating every corner of the fiddle/violin world. A choptastic

interpretation of Jerusalem Ridge on his debut record, 3D, earned him a

GRAMMY nomination and was hailed a "tour de force" (New York Times).

Driessen's "monster chops and imagination to match" (Downbeat) bring an

electric energy to his live performances and solo recordings where this

worldly instrumentalist and composer is able to show off a little, not

merely as a fast and inventive fiddler, but as a visionary who

translates his passion for tradition and improvisation into important

new American music.
