Fiddle player since the age of 6, I have played in a few different bands over the years, I curently play with Aces Wyld and the Dirt Rich Band, I also do session work with Bart McKay Productions and Nolita Studios. I am currently full time, and always looking for gigs. I have recorded with artists such as Don Amero, Jordyn Pollard, Tracy Millar, Travis Dolter, Aces Wyld, and The Dirt Rich Band among others. I have received an SCMA award for all star specialty instrumentalist of the year as well as group of the year with Aces Wyld. My email is samderbawka.ca
I am always looking for gigs, can sub in with most any band, on any stringed instrument, and learn any song. I am also in search of local/semi-local musicians looking to form a duo or trio and tour the house concert circuits, upload awesome videos to youtube, or just play the odd low key local show. Hit me up! I’m always around
