Shack Album by Furnace Mountain with Aimee Curl

If you are lucky enough you could hear one of Fiddlin' Dave original songs like Connie Chung or Fiddlin' Shifflet to name a few. A good place to find Dave is pickin' and grinning around a late night camp fire playing some music with his bluegrass buddies, teaching fiddle or violin lessons, or spending time at home with his wife Morgan and their dog Wilma in the small town of Berryville, Va.

Morgan Morrison is from Taylorstown, VA. She started playing, pickin', and singing at a young age with her very musical family. Now she mainly play's the bouzouki, mandolin and guitar. Morgan has a unique and powerful Bouzouki style, and a voice that is rich and soothing. The vocal team of Morrison and Curl has often been compared to that of Alison Krauss and Gillian Welsh. Morgan has done her share of touring as well having played at Telluride, Smilefest as well as in China, Ireland, Estonia, Latvia. Along with playing at numerous front porches, kitchens and living rooms.

Aimee Curl is from Furnace Mountain in Virginia; she plays the bass guitar (electric, acoustic & the stand up or doghouse bass) and sings like an angel. She and Morgan split the vocal duties, singing their own style of Appalachian roots folk music. Aimee can play all types of music, as was the case with her adventures with thamusement. A band from New Mexico who has toured with bands like Dave Matthews, Widespread Panic & Blues Traveler on the Horde tour. Along with Nathan Moore, Enion and David Tiller thamusement had a brand of jazzy instrumental music with Dylan like song writing and stellar vocals. With new musical explorations ahead of her Aimee has just finished recording at her own house no less the first production Furnace Mountain cd, with a little help from Dave, Morgan, Nathan and Danny.

He too has a long list of friends and bluegrass buddies that he has played to include LOS and Larry. Slinky is known for just that taking the slinky to places it hasn't ever been before.
