Aubrey Haynie
Edit ProfileCareer
In his career, he has recorded three studio albums for the Sugar Hill Records label, all three of which contained mostly songs that he wrote himself. He also holds several credits as a session fiddler and mandolinist. Early influences
He became exceedingly good at both, and within two years he joined a bluegrass band named the Bluegrass Parlor Band.
While he was traveling, he got a chance to meet Chubby Wise, a self-styled "original" bluegrass fiddler, on many occasions.
These opportunities enriched his sense of music, and were a great inspiration to him in his younger years. Another major influence on Haynie"s music was that of Kenny Baker, whose fiddle albums were some of his favorites.
Those familiar with Baker"s fiddle style might recognize similarities in Haynie"s sound. In August 1996 Haynie lost two violins and a bow, when a lightning-induced fire burnt Tim Austin"s Doobie Shea Studios to the ground.
Destroyed was $35,000 worth of Haynie"s equipment, the bow alone worth $15,000.
Haynie has been seen appearing in informal music performances under other musicians" headlines, and earned a living as a session musician.
