A jazz- and folk-infused string duo, Secret Oaks formed at Rocky Mountain Fiddle Camp in 2022. From the very first notes, it was like Caroline and Daniel had been playing together for years. The duo presents a fun and engaging show of original tunes steeped in tradition, and fresh arrangements of traditional favorites.

A native daughter of the genre-bending West Coast music scene, Caroline McCaskey is equally at home in the traditional, improvisational and classical music worlds. In demand as a teacher and performer throughout North America and author of the AltStrings Fiddle Method, she holds degrees in music composition and performance. Caroline is a fiddler for the dance bands Tartan Suite, Reel of Seven and Greenwich Mean Time. She is also the 2019 U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Champion and a two-time International Musical Saw Champion. Caroline is the creator of AltStringsAcademy.com, a learning community for amateur adult string players who are ready to build their technique, style, and musicianship skills.
