Sean Hoffman has been teaching and playing fiddle for many years. He grew up playing bluegrass with his family in Indiana and studied Irish music with New York-based fiddler Brian Conway. He plays with multiple bands including Debutants, Bobcat Opossum, and Soltre. He is fascinated by the relationship between Irish music and old-time dance music, those not so distant cousins separated by an ocean and re-imagined in the hills and hollers of the New World.
Sean runs the Fairfield Falcon Fiddle Club, an after-school program for 4th and 5th graders in Fort Wayne, IN. He has also been on staff (2019 and 2020) at the Earful of Fiddle Music and Dance Camp in Rodney, MI and the Redwing Academy (2017-Present), and was the 2023 and 2024 Guest Artist at the Linda Luebke Strings Festival in Terre Haute, IN.
