About Cliffton Preddy
Born in 1973 and raised in Wilton, NC, Clifton Preddy has been playing the fiddle since the age of three after becoming tired and unsatisfied with his plastic toy fiddle, and insisting to his parents that he wanted a “real” fiddle like the one that his Great-Uncle Emil “Dunk” Preddy played.
Over his musical career, Clifton has performed with such bands as: Swift Run, The Virginia Travelers, New Classic Grass, Lynwood Lunsford, New Vintage, Carolina Road, The Navy Bluegrass Band, The Jason Michael Carroll band, Steel Creek, Carolina Connection, and The Beard Brothers. His greatest musical influences are: the late Mr. Chubby Wise, Mark O’Connor, the Lonesome River Band, and his Great-Uncle and old-time fiddler Emil “Dunk” Preddy. He enjoys songwriting, and has been fortunate enough to perform some of his originals with Constant Change.
