Set yourself down and
listen for a spell

If you love old-time fiddle and mountain music, you're in for a treat.

Art Stamper played and taught the Appalachian fiddle style he learned from his father, Hiram, and that Hiram learned from old-time fiddlers who learned their tunes years earlier. Art also played bluegrass fiddle with some of the greatest names in bluegrass, like Ralph and Carter Stanley, Bill Monroe, Larry Sparks, the Goins Brothers, Jim and Jesse.

Whether playing Appalachian fiddle or bluegrass fiddle, Art was a musical marvel. There are many great fiddlers, but only one Art Stamper. Listen for yourself and see.

This site has a collection of biographical information, a photo album, a partial discography of Art's bluegrass fiddle and old-time fiddle recordings.

You'll also find Art's CDs, including some fine fiddle MP3 samples you can listen to while you are ordering online.

If you have any stories you'd like to share or if you would like to see what others are saying about this man who contributed so much to bluegrass fiddle and Appalachian fiddle music, head over to our Guest Book.
