The Fiddler - Alex DePue

"If Paganini were born again on this day, perhaps it is Alex DePue for the violin, but tonight, he will be that for all of Italy!" -La7 TV - Rome, Italy 
"...one of leading improv violinists of his generation." -Kansas-City Tribune

Alex DePue began studying classical violin at age five. He won his first university-level competition at age 10, and later (age 14) won a competition which entitled him to a performance at NYC's Carnegie Hall. Later teaming up with legendary elec. guitarist, Steve Vai, DePue has traveled the world playing everything from Classical music, to Hard Rock / Heavy Metal with Steve Vai.

His latest studio effort (2018) "Modern Paganini", has been extolled as one of the greatest fiddle records ever produced. One-man-band.
