Rebekah Snyder – The Fiddle Player Stays
REBEKAH SNYDER BRINGS TRUE COUNTRY STORYTELLING TO
LIFE WITH “THE FIDDLE PLAYER STAYS”
Alt-country/Americana artist Rebekah Snyder follows up her single “Don’t Ever Date a Yankee” with a heartfelt and true-to-life country tale, “The Fiddle Player Stays.” The second single from her forthcoming album Ready to Ride!continues Snyder’s tradition of storytelling rooted in authenticity, Appalachian grit, and lived experience.
“The Fiddle Player Stays” tells the story of a chance encounter that turned into a classiccountry moment. “I went to an open stage night at a local country bar to play my songs, and the Appalachian band ‘Possum and the Rails’ was there,” says Snyder. “The lead singer, a former member of the motorcycle club ‘The Outlaws,’ fell ill just before their performance.
The fiddle player from the band was sitting at the bar, so I sat next to him and asked if he would join me on stage for my set. And so, he did, and it was wonderful. “The next day, I posted a video with the caption, ‘Last night I stole a fiddle player from a band of outlaws.’
The lead singer messaged me and said, ‘I want my fiddle player back today.’ I told him, ‘I’m keeping him and not giving him back.’ That interaction inspired the storyline and creation of ‘The Fiddle Player Stays,’ all based on a true story.”
Produced in Nashville, the song captures the energy and charm of Snyder’s classic country influences, blending fiddle, acoustic guitar, and heartfelt vocals with her signature storytelling edge. A music video directed by Marcos Durian will accompany the release.
“The Fiddle Player Stays” embodies Snyder’s knack for turning real moments into timeless songs, with humor, heart, and a touch of outlaw spirit.
