She also plays lead for the house band at the Seminary School House in Central Illinois every Saturday night. Featured also in this video are two of her band members; Russ Rench on Mandolin and Bruce "Swamp" Wiess on guitar.

Remarkable. I have been playing on a daily basis for 5 years now and I don't even think I could come close to besting her in a fiddle match. She has been blessed with a remarkable talent and I would be ashamed if she did not utilized. Fiddle on

That is amazing, I am a violinist. Do you have to have five strings because I only have four and I want to learn that song.

Love it!!! I'm no fiddler, but that looked mighty tough, no matter HOW old you are. For a 9 year old to play it that well, is just inspiring. How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice. Mikayla shows how it pays off!!!.Listen to Danny Gatton's "Orange Blossom" on YouTuibe. He plays guitar. But he can make his Tele sound like a fiddle.....sorta.....
