While Driessen is one of the fastest-rising sidemen on the bluegrass circuit, he’s a restless explorer, a bold boundary crosser who listens for inspiration from Tennessee to Tibet. There’s no solace in safety for this remarkable 28-year-old, and with his debut album 3D, a worldly instrumentalist and composer is able to show off a little, not merely as a fast and inventive fiddler, but as a visionary who translates his passion for tradition and improvisation into important new American music.
Driessen recently embarked on the first-ever US-sponsored cultural mission to Tibet with The Sparrow Quartet (Abigail Washburn, Bela Fleck and Ben Sollee). The group also gave several performances along China’s eastern seaboard, where they brought America’s oldest and most original music form to, arguably, the world’s oldest civilization through a special grant from the US State Department applied for by the Beijing branch of the US Bureau of Culture and Education.
