Justine and Alison Parker, better known as the Parker Sisters, are current students at the University of Pittsburgh. They started playing the violin 13 years ago and have studied and performed together ever since, using their classical training to expand into the realm of old-time Appalachian fiddle music. Their musical influences include: Bobby Taylor, Tommy Jarrell, Rachel Eddy, and Bruce Molsky, among others. They continue to pass on the old-time music tradition though workshops at the Great Blue Heron Music Festival. The Parker Sisters are featured as lead fiddle players in Tiger Maple String Band of Edinboro, Pennsylvania. This old-time string band offers harmonious vocals accompanied by red-hot fiddling to enliven many audiences at festivals, dances, weddings, local bars, and back porches. Tiger Maple String Band has performed at festivals with acts such as Donna the Buffalo, the Red Hots, the Avett Brothers, and the Horseflies.
