Sassafras — Jason Barie ft. Joe Mullins & The Radio Ramblers [Official Live Performance]

Jason Barie, affectionately known as the "Ramblin' Fiddler," is a prominent figure in contemporary bluegrass, renowned for his virtuosic fiddle playing, innovative compositions, and steadfast dedication to the genre's traditions. Born in Valrico, Florida, in the early 1980s, Barie began his musical journey at age 10 with classical violin lessons in school, transitioning to bluegrass at 12 after lessons at Tampa's Bluegrass Parlor, guided by his father. By 14, he was performing in his first band, and at 15, he freelanced across central Florida stages. A six-time Florida State Fiddle Champion, his passion was ignited by his great-grandfather's antique fiddle case filled with rosin, inspiring the superhero persona of "The Ramblin' Fiddler" who derives powers from enchanted rosin. After high school, Barie joined Florida's Sand Mountain band before moving to Nashville, where he toured nationally with Carolina Road (earning his first SPBGMA Fiddle Player of the Year nomination in 2001 at age 21), Larry Stephenson (2007–2008, contributing to the IBMA-nominated album The Past Is Present), Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver (2009–2014, including Grand Ole Opry appearances), Bobby Osborne & The Rocky Top Express, and Jesse McReynolds & The Virginia Boys. Since November 2014, he has served as fiddler for Joe Mullins & The Radio Ramblers, adding to their Grammy-nominated projects and extensive tours. Versatile on mandolin and guitar, Barie blends classical precision with Appalachian energy. Barie's solo career under "The Ramblin' Fiddler" banner on Billy Blue Records includes The Past Is Present (2008, IBMA Instrumental Album nominee), Pieces (2019, featuring originals and guests like Del McCoury, Paul Williams, and Doyle Lawson, with hits like "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"), and Radioactive (2023, with collaborators including Michael Cleveland, Russell Moore, and Tim Raybon; radio-topping singles "That's Why You Left Me So Blue" and "Keep a Memory"). Beyond music, he is a skilled luthier, crafting violins in his Portland, Tennessee, workshop since relocating there with his wife and two children during the 2020 pandemic, when he also built his first fiddle and offered repairs alongside custom leather straps (even donating items for charitable causes like National Superheroes Day). Barie's influence extends to mentoring emerging artists and preserving bluegrass's high-lonesome spirit, with ongoing tours, album streams on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, and updates via jasonbarie.com keeping fans engaged in his evolving legacy.
