Jared Violin
“The moment I first saw a Viper in 2004 I knew I had to not only try and play such a unique instrument, but hopefully own one, too! Finally in 2007, that dream became a reality for me and I haven’t looked back at another electric violin since. The custom built green Viper I play has become an extension of me both on and off stage. As a full time touring musician it gives me the freedom I demand to move effortlessly around the stage without worry. The innovative chest support system relaxed my neck and shoulders from the moment I put it on. Anyone that wants to set themselves apart in the bowed string instrument community has to get a Viper!!”
Influenced by the likes of The Charlie Daniel’s Band, Jean Luc Ponty and more mainstream artists such as Boyd Tinsley of the Dave Matthews Band, Jared’s musical style has evolved from classical to include bluegrass and jazz, contemporary and modern rock sounds. With featured performances on Live! with Regis and Kelly, MTV, NBC, CBS and Fox News, in addition to appearances with live Dj’s in various night clubs and corporate conventions around the world, Jared enjoys being a full time touring musician. He performed nightly in the Broadway acclaimed, “Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy” at the Broadway Theatre in New York City, and most recently opened up as a solo artist for Natasha Bedingfield and The Plain White T’s.
