Roger Cooper is not just a fiddler; he is an award-winning artist whose talents have graced stages like the Lincoln Center in New York City.

 

He has triumphed in countless old-time fiddle contests across Kentucky and Ohio, including The Ohio State Championships, and even placed in the top 20 at the World’s Championship in Union Grove, North Carolina.

 

His contributions to the art have not gone unnoticed; he received a Kentucky Governor’s Award in the Arts in 2017 and served as a master artist in the Kentucky Arts Council’s Folk Arts Apprenticeship program.
