Mark O'Connor (born August 5, 1961 in Seattle, Washington) is widely considered to be the most prominent fiddler of his generation. He's won every major fiddle competition in the US, a Grammy award, and has been named Musician of the Year by the Country Music Association six years in a row (from 1991-1996). He has crossed musical boundaries, composing and recording not only bluegrass music but also classical and jazz, and has played alongside a wide variety of artists, such as Yo-Yo Ma, James Taylor, Stéphane Grappelli, and Wynton Marsalis. O'Connor is also well known for his unusual ability to play the fiddle while riding a skateboard.
