Judges: Bethany Dick

Currently making her home in Nashville, Bethany is a fiddler/singer/songwriter from Bozeman, Montana. She grew up in a high remote area of the Tobacco Root Mountains in southwest Montana, and at the age of twelve moved to the Bozeman area with her dad, Jim, her mom, Dayle, and her younger sister, Kate. Soon after moving to Bozeman, she heard Alison Krauss' Two Highways, which sparked her interest in bluegrass music and fiddling. She started playing the fiddle when she was fourteen, and began competing in fiddle contests around the nation at fifteen, consistently finishing in the top five. Her family began playing in church together at about the same time. She wrote her first song, "It's Enough", in 1997, and now at the age of twenty-one is living out her dream of writing and performing her songs.
"I fell in love with fiddling as soon as I took it up; I couldn't put my fiddle down. When I started songwriting, I found that I loved it as much as my fiddling. Acoustic music is so soulful and beautiful, and I consider myself very blessed to be able to play it."
