Sylvie Johnson

Violin, Mandolin, Piano, Ukulele, Guitar & Voice

Sylvie has been playing the violin/fiddle and mandolin for 13 years. She has always had a great love for playing music with others through attending old-time and bluegrass jams growing up, and has gained a strong sense of community and encouragement through those environments. She and her sister learned their instruments together and eventually started a family band, and they performed together for over 10 years back in her hometown of Kalispell, Montana.

Sylvie is an award-winning performer, having earned 4th place at the MT State fiddle championship, and 1st place in the twin fiddle division, as well as 4th place in the Northwest Regional fiddle competition Junior division, and 19th place Junior division at the National Fiddle Contest in Weiser, ID.  

Although the violin is home for her, she also plays the mandolin, piano, ukulele, guitar, and voice. Her favorite genres to play are bluegrass, Irish, swing, and old-time fiddle.
