Berlin Fiddlers Convention Brings Back Special Memories For Father-Son Group

OCEAN CITY – Singer/songwriter Frankie Moran will always remember the 2014 Berlin Fiddler’s Convention as the precise moment his 12-year-old son Cole took center stage.

“I think what I remember the most was the thunderous applause after we finished our song, and being really thankful that I was wearing my sunglasses, because they were hiding my tears of joy,” said Moran.

Their performance culminated in the second place prize in the group competition and a “most inspirational performer” prize for Cole, but the moment instantly went down as one of the most memorable in the Fiddler’s Convention’s 22-year history.

Nate Clendenen, local musician and music director of the Fiddler’s Convention, was standing just offstage and remembers the moment well.

“I’m always amazed at the impact music can have on both those that play and those that listen,” said Clendenen. “Music is life, and everyone that experienced Blind Wind’s performance last year was affected by it. Everyone. It was truly awesome.”
