John Tempelaere on stage on 10 13 24 at 3 PM before live audience. The show is before the regular Open Mic Jam that starts at 4:30 PM.
John (Johan) Tempelaere was born in Belgium. John grew up speaking Flemish, and learned to read music and train his ear to the musical scale in school. When John was 10 years old, his parents decided to move back to America and settled in Saint Clair Shores, Michigan. In 6th grade, John's parents bought him his first violin, and he had one year of instruction in the school orchestra.
The family moved to Utica, MI in 1973. That summer John was 15, he answered a Mother Earth magazine ad to work on a new farm in Tennessee for room and board. He rode his 10 speed bike from Utica, MI to Tennessee! On this summer journey, and summers thereafter (by car), John got to meet and hear several old time fiddlers, which grew his fiddling repertoire.
In 1976, John joined the Utica Civic Orchestra for 1 year. John started playing his violin in his church orchestra in 1977. John met his wife Susan at the church they attended during a Christmas program practice; Susan was singing in the choir, and the church orchestra participated with John on violin. Susan & John were married in 1980, and after a one month honeymoon in Belgium, they moved to Lake Odessa, MI. They were seeking a more rural place to live.
In 1980, John started playing with the Michigan Fiddlers Association. He and his wife are pictured in a 1984 MFA book of Michigan fiddlers. In 1981, John and Susan moved to Ionia MI where they started a family.
While living in Ionia, John has enjoyed playing with the Grand Valley Strings for the Ionia Commission on Aging, as well as once a month in Lyons Muir, St. Johns, Thornapple Valley Hammered Dulcimer Association, Bob’s Barn Jams in Lake Odessa, and at Ionia Bluegrass. Currently John volunteers at the ICCMH Adult Day Program, helping in many ways including playing his fiddle and guitar.
In 2023 John Tempelaere was inducted into the Michigan Fiddlers Hall of Fame.
