Creative Strings Podcast With Violinist Christian Howes: Exploring Intersections Between Creativity, Music Education, String

At the intersection of story telling, philosophy, education, and old time fiddle music lives Joe McHugh, a musician who travels with his wife Paula in their group, The Time Travelers. From moving to West Virginia at the age of twenty to buy a farm, to living and learning traditional fiddle music in Scotland, Joe has used his experiences to carve out a career which encompasses: serving as the founding director of the Youth Museum of Southern West Virginia, hosting a series on folkways of Appalachia for West Virginia Public Television, and performing with folk legends Pete Seeger and U. Utah Phillips. Through art and story telling, Joe has immersed himself in the mythos of the violin and can capture anyone's attention and compel them to listen.
