Fritto Misto features Vi Wickam on Violin/Fiddle and Daniel Delaney on Cello. Because both of them play many instruments, you may find one of them on Guitar, Mandolin, Viola, or even Tenor Banjo.

They play a mixture of music that you love, integrating the world of Classical, Traditional Fiddle music, and Pop tunes from the 1940's to today. Their repartee and engaging performance style will leave you wondering when you will get to hear them again.

The name, Fritto Misto, was inspired by the popular Italian dish. When Vi, and his wife Christina, visited Italy in 2018 they noted that every restaurant offered Fritto Misto and that the ingredients in every Fritto Misto were unique. They would mix the best local ingredients and fry them up, because what's better than that!

Fritto Misto pulls together influences from all over time, and the world to create unique and beautiful music that you are sure to love.
