Born in 1974,
Aubrey Haynie has wasted no time in establishing himself as one of the most talented fiddle and mandolin players in
contemporary country music.
Haynie has been one of the most sought after session players in Nashville, having appeared on releases by
George Jones,
Porter Wagoner,
Trisha Yearwood, and
Bryan White among others, and with tours in the bands of
Aaron Tippin and
Clint Black padding his resumé, as well. Comfortable in a variety of traditional musical genres, from
bluegrass and
country to more
swing and
jazz-oriented styles,
Haynie has drawn comparisons to
swing and
bluegrass fiddler
Chubby Wise, who served as something of a mentor to
Haynie in his youth, and accolades from
Ricky Skaggs, who contributed vocals on
Haynie's debut. 1997's Doin' My Time -- an excellent mix of traditionals, covers, and original instrumentals mixed with the occasional vocal track -- was well-received in the
bluegrass community and netted
Haynie a nomination from the International Bluegrass Music Association for Instrumental Album of the Year. The similarly impressive A Man Must Carry On followed in the spring of 2000 and only added to
Haynie's growing reputation. ~ Matt Fink, All Music Guide
