Minnesota born Tom Weisgerber has been hanging around fiddle contests for over 30 years.  Fiddle music is what makes him tick, and contests are the perfect place to see old friends, make new ones, and play the music he loves.
Tom has been a seven-time MN State Champion, two-time World Series of Fiddling Champion in Langley, Oklahoma, and four-time Gone to Texas winner at the Fiddlers’ Frolics in Hallettsville, TX.  He has also judged the National Old-time Fiddler’s Contest in Weiser, ID three times, as well as many other contests around the country.  In his spare time he enjoys repairing, restoring, and setting up fiddles.
When not playing the fiddle, Tom loves to play rhythm guitar for other fiddlers, often times being the last to stop jamming in the wee hours of the morning.  He has served as a house guitar player many times at the Colorado Fiddle Championships in Denver, as well as at the Mid-America Championships in Branson, MO, where he is also a two-time fiddle champion.
