Photo: Sue Kittredge | By Alison Cutler, The Charlotte Observer | A mom visiting a saloon in Tennessee had an unexpected moment in the spotlight after she was handed a fiddle by the live band performing.
TikToker Olivia Reeths recorded as her mom Sue Kittredge unraveled her scarf, took the performer’s fiddle and proceeded to astound the audience in Whiskey Bent Saloon in Nashville with an on-the-spot solo.
“They didn’t expect her to absolutely shred,” Reeths said in her TikTok.
And shred Kittredge did — even adding a lick of glissandi at the end of her solo as a cherry on top.
The audience at the bar cheered in the background and one man jokingly led the band’s fiddler to the door after hearing the mom play.
The video has gotten nearly 6 million views on TikTok.
“Your momma went down to Georgia,” Yung Gravy, the rapper and notorious online romancer of moms, wrote on Reeths’ TikTok.

Reeths said her mom is classically trained before she met her dad, who introduced her to country and bluegrass. Now the two have their own band called Coconut Radio Band.
