Oregon Old Time Fiddlers Association History Oregon is divided into 11 districts with each district having its own officers. The chairmen of the districts serve on the board with the state officers and serve all members. Each year in March the state association has a convention at the fairgrounds at Roseburg.
Members come from all over Oregon and from neighboring states to visit and share their music.
The Oregon Old Time Fiddlers Association has a variety of members - the fiddle being the primary instrument. Every fiddler wants to have back up so many of our members are guitar players, along with the banjo, bass, piano, accordion, mandolin, harmonica and those members who do vocals. Then each musician has his or her time for usually two tunes - fiddle, or other instrument or a vocalist. There are many different styles of fiddling most of them coming from the individual fiddler. The typical old time style may include hoedowns, waltzes, cowboy songs and many of the old tunes.
