Aubrey E. Haynie[1] (born March 27, 1974) is an American bluegrass musician who plays the fiddle and mandolin.
When Haynie was nine, he began taking fiddle lessons from his grandmother's cousin, a man named Ted Locke.
While he was traveling, he got a chance to meet Chubby Wise, a self-styled "original" bluegrass fiddler, on many occasions.
In 1990, at age 16, attending the Florida fiddling championships, and competing, Haynie won first place in the contemporary division for the second time, playing Wild Fiddler's Rag and Skater's Waltz.
[2] In August 1996 Haynie lost two violins and a bow, when a lightning-induced fire burnt Tim Austin's Doobie Shea Studios to the ground.
