Vance Archer III Bio

Vance D. Archer III has been a musician for over 70 years with a career that spans from classical cello in the family string quartet to 40 years of leading Folk Music, Irish Celli and Contra Dance bands in the greater New York City/New Jersey region. He plays violin, viola, cello, guitar, mandolin, autoharp and bouzouki in a variety of musical styles.
Since moving to Greensboro in 2005, Vance has become active in the Triad Music and Art Scene. In addition to leading the Fiddle Tunes Friendzy, Vance hosts the Triad Music Circle in his home, where they enjoy playing acoustic music from many traditions. The Music Circle consists of musicians with varied abilities and interests while serving primarily as emotional musical therapy for its members. The group also serves as an introduction to group playing for his students. Vance hosts an occasional “Traveling Hootenanny” where folks join for an evening of socialization and singing.
Vance performs solo concerts in various regional venues. For these performances he often plays Guitar, Autoharp and Fiddle while leading the singing. Vance organizes solo and group musical entertainment for social gatherings and trade shows and can gather the proper mix of musicians to accommodate most musical venues.

Vance would rather practice outside than inside. He can often be seen strolling in the Bog Garden, Bicentennial Gardens, Country Park or the Arboretum with his fiddle or sitting on a park bench with his autoharp.
