About Fiddle Witch, the
Houston Press notes: "The band is comprised of local music veterans who have teamed up for an innovative blend of classical and metal, appealing to Houston's most eclectic headbangers. The Band: Jo Bird, Geoffrey Muller, SPIKE the Percussionist. The Backstory: Bird is one of the founders of fellow HPMA nominee Two Star Symphony and conceived this project in 2012 as a way to further explore her diverse influences. Bird was referred to SPIKE the Percussionist who shared her classical training and passion for metal and rock. Bassist Geoffrey Muller rounded out the trio. Where You've Seen Them: Rudyard's and Numbers. Next Gigs: The band is working on bookings while it records a new single in Los Angeles. Lessons Learned: "The
Houston scene is vast yet well connected in many ways. There's lots of talent everywhere but launching it out into the rest of the world can be difficult."
