S'MAC TALK: Fiddlin' Around with Catherine Robertson

🎧 S’MAC TALK – Episode 15: Fiddlin' Around with Catherine RobertsonPowered by Blue Willow Entertainment💛 Title Sponsor: Happy Ending Divorce and Separation♻️ Community Partner: Chop Value YYCThis week, Seth and Mac sit down with Catherine Robertson, a fiddle player, violinist, and luthier who’s been immersed in music since she was three years old. Catherine breaks down the real difference between “violin” and “fiddle” (hint: it’s not the instrument), how she moved from classical training into traditional music, and why chasing perfection can drain the joy from playing if you’re not careful.They dig into her path from early gigs and music store life into full-time work with artists, touring, and instrument repair, including how being a luthier has saved the day on the road more than once. There’s lots of love for Alberta’s music community, her long-running connection with Ryan Lindsay, and what it’s like to move in and out of projects while keeping relationships intact.And because it’s S'MAC Talk, the conversation takes a hard left into small-town road stops, A&W coffee club culture, and the internet-famous apple reviews, including the great Red Delicious debate. Plus, a perfectly chaotic tour story involving two identical SUVs, the Premier’s security team, and one very unlucky band member opening the wrong door.🎶 Songs of the Week:Jade Elephant – “Listen to the Beatles”Jessie Dans - "Summer 2016"Ryan Lindsay – “Three Long Hauls” (unreleased)
