Frank Tiedemann
Played guitar, fiddle & mandolin in Rock Bands, Country Rock and Southern Rock Bands during and after College in the late 70's. Presently concentrate on songwriting and home-recording. I had a couple of songs picked up by a music publisher at one point. Once in a while I get talked into performing again; otherwise I just get together with my friends.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Played club circuit mainly in "Rebel", & "Cumberland Highland Band". I also sat in on the fiddle with a lot of country artists playing the clubs in the area.
