Fiddlin' Dennis Stroughmatt

Growing up in southeastern Illinois, Dennis' first memories of listening to music were the sounds of Bob Wills, Guy Lombardo, and Ray Price.  Night and day his dad would play all kinds of music on his stereo system, but more than anything the sound of Ray Price’s Cherokee Cowboys booming through the speakers made him want to sing and dance around the room.  Some say he was born to this music and others joke that Ray Price was his vocal coach.  That’s a huge compliment but in many ways Dennis did learn to sing and understand music via Ray Price and The Cherokee Cowboys.  Years passed, he picked up the fiddle, began playing French music and became a nationally known musician.  But the desire to play the music of “The Cowboys” and especially in the style of greats like Tommy Jackson and Buddy Spicher never left him. 

Dennis will be fiddlin' all weekend with the SIP Stage Band
