A note about invitations to our house concerts:
When you request an invitation to one of our events, we, respectfully, ask that you consider it the same level of commitment as when you may have purchased tickets to one of our shows in the past. If you find that, for any reason, you are unable to attend, please inform us as quickly as possible. We realize that we are not asking for your donations in advance, only when you attend the concert, so you have no money invested ahead of the event. But, please be considerate of the touring artists we present, who travel great distances to play here. They deserve to make as much as possible when they come here to perform as well as folks who may be on a waiting list to attend one of our events. They deserve a chance to see the show if someone ahead of them must cancel.In short, please be respectful. Guests who fail to do so will not be invited back.
Thank you very much for your consideration!About Us
About Fiddlers Crossing
On April 17, 2010, Fiddlers Crossing held its opening concert in Tehachapi, CA, with local band, “Geezers on the Loose.” The owners, musicians Peter Cutler and his wife, Deborah Hand-Cutler, wanted a place where people could listen to the best in acoustic music without the clatter of dishes and the whirl of espresso machines. They wanted a place where people could get lost in the music and share a magical evening in an intimate setting. Peter is the engineer for the Folkscene radio program,, and Debby is the owner of Mountain Music, the downtown Tehachapi music store.
Over the years, the venue has gained a world-wide reputation as a premier venue for acoustic music. This is due to the brilliant sound engineering of Peter Cutler, the cozy atmosphere, the snacks and special desserts, and also to the appreciative and enthusiastic Tehachapi audience. The audience members often become big fans of the musicians, who come from all over the world. It’s not uncommon for some to travel long distances to hear their favorites again, and to become friends.
The activities included one or two concerts per month, weekly Wednesday night open mics, and free First Friday showcases featuring local area musicians as well as up-and-coming talents just starting to tour.
Then came March of 2020 and the Covid pandemic. The venue, naturally closed and remained so throughout 2020 and 2021.
Now, as things open up ,Fiddlers Crossing has transitioned from a music venue to a house concert series.About Owners Peter and Debby
As owners of Fiddlers Crossing and Mountain Music, Peter Cutler and Deborah Hand-Cutler have become mainstays of the acoustic music scene in Tehachapi.
Peter Cutler, a singer and guitarist, has been the recording engineer for the radio program, “Folkscene,” for 49 years. As part of that work, he has recorded many of the best folk and Americana artists from all over the world. With the passing of the original hosts, Roz and Howard Larman, Peter and Debby have taken an even more active role in the program, joining the Larman’s son Allen, and daughter-in-law Kat. Peter is still engineering, while Debby is now doing some of the interviews. Fiddlers Crossing concerts have been used on the program for several years. Peter now produces, engineers and hosts an online version of the program over FolkMusicNotebook.com, giving Folkscene a world-wide audience.
Deborah Hand-Cutler has been a familiar face in the Tehachapi music scene since the early 1990s. As the owner of Mountain Music, she was responsible for starting two orchestras, the Tehachapi Symphony Orchestra and the Tehachapi POPS orchestra, aka TPOPS. She still plays cello and mountain dulcimer at the store, and also plays bass, tenor banjo, mandola and viola, as well. She was a member of the popular local Celtic band, Paint a Rose. Debby also served on the City Council for 8 years, including a year as Mayor.
