Violin: acoustic & electric

Fiddle: acoustic & electric

Andrea Weber Steckly is an energetic performer known for playing diverse styles of music.  Her studies began with "classical" training in the Kitchener-Waterloo area and included studies in Cincinnati and Vienna.  With the completion of a Bachelor of Music in Performance degree from the University of Toronto and a Master of Music in Performance degree from the University of Western Ontario, Andrea has gone on to play with the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony on occasion and in various freelance situations in the K-W community and in Toronto.  She is frequently heard playing in pit orchestras for stage shows with the K-W Musical Productions, the Fergus Grand Theatre, the Singer's Theatre and others.

In the role of fiddler, Andrea can be found at coffee houses, outdoor festivals, fundraisers and square dances.  She is equally enthusiastic as either the solo fiddler playing flashy tunes, or the back-up fiddler, keyboard player or singer in country, bluegrass, or rock bands.  She is the proud new owner of a 6-string Viper, a custom-made electric violin built in New York by Mark Wood.  This exciting instrument is opening new possibilities in rock, jazz, and fiddle.
