Kerry has been playing the fiddle for more than 30 years. She is the 2024 Kentucky and Ohio State Champion, 2022 SE Regional Fiddle Champion and recipient of the 2022 Bud Meredith Showmanship award at the Twin Lakes National Fiddler Championship in Leitchfield, KY.  She is a four time Ohio State fiddle champion, three time Indiana State Gambler's Draw champion, and five-time Grand Master Fiddler finalist, in addition to top finishes in contests from Ohio to Texas.

She holds a bachelors degree in violin and masters degrees in both reading and special education. She currently teaches ninth grade special education for OHDELA.  Her innovative approach to integrating music and language arts has been reported in local newspapers, as well as featured on the Youngstown NBC television affiliate, WFMJ.

Todd is a sought after accompanist in Texas fiddle circles.  He has played for hundreds of fiddle players across fifteen states, winning many accolades.

His musical  interests began at an early age while watching (and eventually performing with) his multi-instrumentalist father, Conley Varble.  Conley was a popular figure in bluegrass music and owner of The Bluegrass Corner music store in Holland, Ohio.  Todd's first love was playing bass and he played for several bands throughout the 80's and 90's, while also adding bluegrass guitar to some performances.

After a short hiatus from music, Todd found himself filling in as a bass player for his father's bluegrass band where he met Kerry who was the fiddler in the band.  He began backing her on guitar at fiddle contests and the rest is history!
