The Tiehackers
Dan Grotewohl

The protégé of old-time Missouri fiddle legend Lyman Enloe, Dan Grotewohl continues the tradition of American music from the Heartland. A young Central American Fiddle Champion and bluegrass veteran by age 17, Dan pushed the fiddle under the bed for many years. When he picked it up again he began to play his own music, greengrass. His solo CD Bear in the Greengrass (2000) pays tribute to Enloe, but also echoes the roots of Scots-Irish music planted firmly in the Missouri River valley by immigrants. Grotewohl has toured and recorded with the Cedar Creek Bluegrass Band, Connie Dover, Sunrush, Roger Landes, Gerald Trimble , and the Tiehackers. He contributed original music to the Emmy award winning soundtrack for PBS's series "Water & Fire: The Story of the Ozarks". In May 2000 the NEA and Americans for the Arts selected Dan to teach and perform American fiddle styles for the Residency Exchange Program in Ireland. Dan was honored this year as the first international guest to play the Violin Festival of the Andes, Tovar, Venezuela. Grotewohl lives with his wife and daughter along the Oregon and Santa Fe Trails in Lawrence, KS.
