The John Hartford Fiddle Project
Featuring Rachel Baiman, Ella Korth and Sharon Gilchrist
The musical legacy of John Hartford has found a new chapter with The John Hartford Fiddle Tune Project; Mandolinist Sharon Gilchrist, fiddle player Rachel Baiman, and banjo/guitarist Ella Korth bring newly discovered Hartford tunes to old-time and bluegrass fans everywhere. These compositions, found handwritten in over 20 notebooks after John’s death, were compiled in The John Hartford Mammoth Collection, and recorded on the GRAMMY-nominated album, The John Hartford Fiddle Tune Project Vol. 1, and Vol. 2: Julia Belle. Julia Belle was co-produced by Gilchrist and released this past February 2025. The John Hartford Fiddle Tune Project is passionate about sharing these tunes far and wide so that they can become part of the roots music canon for future musicians to love and enjoy.
