Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out
Announce Addition of Nathan Aldridge
[PR] The International Bluegrass Music Association’s 5-Time Male Vocalist of the Year, Russell Moore, is proud to announce the addition of fiddle player Nathan Aldridge to his award-winning band, IIIrd Tyme Out, beginning
in March. Nathan will replace Justen Haynes who left the band earlier
this year to spend more time with his young family.
Nathan
Aldridge loved the fiddle from the age of two, eventually receiving his
first professional instrument when he only four years old. He began
performing professionally as a young teenager as part of Al Batten &
Bluegrass Reunion and most recently has toured with Sideline. His
influences have been classic fiddlers such as Chubby Wise, Benny Martin,
and Kenny Baker, and over the years to modern musicians such as Mike
Hartgrove and Stuart Duncan. Nathan is very clear on his passion for
music, and especially that of Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out. “I
grew up listening and studying IIIrd Tyme Out’s music,” he says. “I used
to get home from school and spend all my afternoons playing along with
their music until my parents got home from work. I’ve enjoyed playing
with Steve and all the guys in Sideline, but I’m very excited to pursue
my dream of playing with Russell & IIIrd Tyme Out!”
“We’re
very excited to see Nathan Aldridge join the band on fiddle and welcome
him with open arms,” states Russell Moore. “He has been listening to
our music for many years and has expressed his desire to be a part of
our 3TO ‘family.’ We couldn’t be happier to have him here and we look
forward to our journey together!!”
Nathan Aldridge will make his official debut with Russell Moore &
IIIrd Tyme Out on March 3rd at The Harvester in Rocky Mount, VA followed
by a live radio show on March 4th for WVTF Radio in Roanoke. For more
