Bill Christophersen of New York City has been fiddling for 35 years. He has established himself as one of the best Bluegrass and Old-Time fiddlers in the Northeast, performing widely and taking first-place honors in major regional competitions. In one of his early bands, Fly By Night, Bill toured with Bill Harrell and the Virginians. He has recorded with Tom Paley of New Lost City Ramblers, Buddy Merriam, Eastbound Freight, and James Reams. His playing was called "rich and rugged" by Bluegrass Unlimited. Bill's fiddling with American Flyer is pure straight-ahead Bluegrass, somewhere between the progressive style he plays with Orrin Star and the Sultans of String and the retro Old-Timey style he plays with the Rock-House Gamblers.
