Multi-Instrumentalist and Vocalist, Jon Vesey comes from a large musical family. He began singing in the church choir at a young age and has a love of all types of American Roots Music from Tin Pan Alley to Chicago Blues. During a typical Fiddles performance he will spread his time between mandolin, Git-jo, flat top and resonator guitars. Jon is a dedicated supporter of Acoustic Roots Music and often organizes and hosts workshops and events in the Tri State Area for fellow musicians and mentors. Vocalist and guitarist Guillaume Goussault hails from Paris, France. He began his musical journey as a violinist, dabbled with piano, and eventually settled on the guitar. In the late 90's Guillaume fronted the NYC-based rock outfit Beatitude which had two independent releases. In 2002, he released Traverse, a collection of original tunes showcasing his roots and blues sensitivity. In late 2002, he moved to London and, pairing up with local session musicians, developed an affinity for traditional Celtic music. Guillaume returned to NYC in 2004 where he co-founded the Second Fiddles. Solomon Burke, Bruce Springsteen, Otis Rush, Hazel Dickens, Pinetop Perkins, Ben E.
