Caitlin Warbelow
Caitlin Warbelow hails from a family of entrepreneurs and bush pilots in Alaska and for the last seven years served as the violinist/fiddler in the original Broadway cast of the Tony Award-winning and Grammy Award-nominated musical, Come From Away. (When Come From Away closed in late 2022, it was the 40th longest-running musical in Broadway history, and the longest-running musical featuring a fiddler.) Caitlin holds degrees from Columbia University (M.S., Urban Planning) and Boston University (B.A., Anthropology, and B.Mus., Violin Performance), and, oddly, once turned down a PhD in Epidemiology at NYU. Though she’s made her career as a musician, that was a bit of a fluke. She originally planned to be a scientist and has never quite managed to retrain her brain to be anything else.
