History
The dark shadow of 9/11 spawned much anxiety, and confusion for our country. But in times of chaos, community gathering places become all that more meaningful. The Purple Fiddle was born out of this national apprehension and continues to help bring joy and togetherness to the people who experience our laid-back and tight-knit community and the live music we bring to all. The story is much more expansive than that. Please stop by and ask for details!
Specialties
A family-friendly and non-smoking music venue, beer and wine bar plus deli-style restaurant. Every week, and always on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, we present professional touring musicians and bands that play mostly original music. We are located in the old DePollo General Store in historic Thomas, WV, in the beautiful Allegheny mountains. Our music lineup is diverse. We often play host to old-time, bluegrass and traditional bands, but also spread our wings with rock n' roll, jazz, funk, reggae, old-country, blues, Celtic, folk, and even Latin bands. We encourage families to bring children to the shows no matter what their age, and kids under 12 are free to all shows, when there is a cover charge. Our restaurant serves the area's finest selection of sandwiches, wraps, salads, coffee, tea, homemade soups and daily specials, homemade ice cream & desserts, plus wine & the area's best beer selection. We are close to many of WV's most popular outdoor areas, just two miles from Blackwater Falls SP
