The incredible Fiddle Hell Online Festival took place April 7-10, 2022. Our epic online lineup included 35 live concerts, 35 live jam sessions, and 180 live workshops, for fiddle, mandolin, cello, guitar, old-time banjo, and singing. Other instruments and listeners were also welcome! Here are the instructors & performers and the schedule.
Video replays of all workshops, jams, and concerts are available to enjoy for 4 months past the end of the live event (through August 11, 2022). You can slow down the videos to 1/2 or 3/4 speed (without changing the pitch), which is great for jams and workshops.
If you attended Fiddle Hell Online in April, just sign in to the Whova platform as you did during the live part of the event. When you look at the Agenda, click View Session and you'll see the video replay.
If you didn't register initially, but would like to view any or all the wonderful workshops, jams, and concerts through August 11, 2022, you can register now for a reduced price. Using Whova (on your laptop, desktop, iPad, or phone), you'll also be able to download 160 handouts, chat with the community, and visit the virtual exhibitors.
The cost for replay viewing is $100 for Adults (26 - 64). This is discounted to $90 for Seniors (65 or older), Young Adults (18 - 25), Kids (13 - 17), and Kids (12 or under).

We do ask for your good behavior online as part of the Fiddle Hell community, please. No politics or offensive posts in the Chat, no posts by Kids 12 or under (because of COPPA), and no offensive photo posts (or you may be removed from Whova without a refund).

Registration for Replays Q&A
Click on a Question below to see the Answer.
Using your LAPTOP or DESKTOP computer, ideally with the Chrome browser, go to www.fiddlehellonline.org to set up your Whova account and sign in to Fiddle Hell Online once you've registered. At that website, where it says "Don't have an account?" click "Sign up here". Sign in with the same exact email address used for your PayPal payment, and create a new password. If you prefer to use a different email address, This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
For iPads or other mobile devices, DO NOT follow that link! First, download the Whova Event & Conference App, then use the App to establish your Whova account, and only then look for the Fiddle Hell Online event in the App. Since the live part of FHO is over, you may have to look at "prior events".
Whova is how you will view sessions on the agenda, download handouts, see messages and announcements, visit the virtual exhibits, and (optionally) connect with other attendees.
If you are asked for an "invitation code" when first setting up your Whova account, it's usually because you're using a different email address than the one you gave when you bought your FIddle Hell Online ticket. Please try again, using the same email address you gave when you bought your FHO ticket. If you prefer to use a different email address, This email address is being protected from spambots.

If you are asked for an "invitation code" when you're using an iPad to set up your Whova account, make sure to download the Whova Event & Conference App first and use the App to set up your account. Then you should be able to see Fiddle Hell Online right away as one of "My Events" or you can seach for it in "Find My Event". Even if you plan to view FHO with an iPad, it's easier to set up your Whova account first with a laptop or desktop computer if you have that option.
No, it's not. As at in-person Fiddle Hell, each registration is valid for only one attendee at Fiddle Hell Online. Any additional household member or friend wishing to watch any concerts, workshops, or jams also needs to register. At a time when musicians' gigs have largely disappeared, Fiddle Hell Online pays all instructors, performers, and technical staff, and we rely on your registration fees to do this. Please respect the artists who are at the heart of Fiddle Hell Online by asking your friends and family to register.
Please send a check in the mail to Fiddle Hell Massachusetts LLC, P. O. Box 316, Lexington, MA 02420-0316, and let us know who it's for, their age categories, and their email addresses. We'll register them and send further instructions to their email addresses. Each attendee needs a unique email address to register.
This process can take a while (time for the check to arrive, time for Dave to get to the P.O. Box, etc.). To speed things up, as soon as you mail the check, This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. that it's on the way, and tell us who is attending, what age, and their email address. We trust you, and will register the person even before the check arrives! And we'll send a confirmation back to you.
We have a very limited number of partial scholarships available to those who can't afford the fee for video replay access through August 11, 2022. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to describe your request and circumstances.
