Hailing from a family of bush pilots in Fairbanks, Alaska, Caitlin Warbelow is a fiddler/violinist and entrepreneur currently residing in Brooklyn. Caitlin began her studies at age three in the Boston Suzuki program, and went on to win honors from the National Foundation for the Advancement of the Arts and the National Suzuki Conference, as well as scholarships at the Meadowmount School (where she studied with Sally Thomas of Juilliard), Boston University, and Columbia University. In the folk and traditional realms, she holds championship titles at the New England Fiddle Championship and the Fleadh Cheoil (All-Ireland Competition).

Caitlin has toured and performed with Cherish the Ladies, Celtic Fire, Beyond Celtic, and The Mickey Finns, among many others. Known as something of a musical chameleon, Caitlin performs, records, and teaches extensively in NYC and around the country in a variety of genres including Irish traditional and rock, country and bluegrass, Texas swing and contest fiddling, and, when absolutely necessary, classical music.

An in-demand teacher with a unique self-developed curriculum blending classical technique and theory with folk music's oral tradition and styles, Caitlin teaches students of all ages and abilities out of her NYC studio, at festivals nationwide, and via Skype. She specializes in teaching absolute beginners, adult amateurs, and children who wish to supplement their classical studies. In addition to her large private teaching studio, she is on the faculty at Manhattan's Irish Arts Center and is an artistic coordinator and guest artist at the Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival and the Far North Fiddle Festival.

Caitlin recently recorded and produced "Manhattan Island Sessions", a live recording of traditional Irish music in NYC pubs. It features fifteen young traditional musicians, including Isaac Alderson (Celtic Crossroads), Dan Lowery and Alan Murray (The Young Wolftones), Kyle Sanna (Nuala Kennedy Trio), and Anna Colliton (The Forge). The CD was nominated for a 2012 Independent Music Award.

Caitlin holds a masters degree in Urban Planning from Columbia University and double bachelors degrees from Boston University in Violin Performance and Anthropology. When she doesn't have a violin in her hands, Caitlin pursues her many entrepreneurial endeavors and travels the world in search of cute animals, delicious food, long naps, and dubious adventures.
