Like his Gold Rush writing contemporaries Mark Twain and Joaquin Miller, Bret Harte had a flair for the theatrical and was an expert promoter.

The Fiddler's Jam is an annual music festival in Fiddletown, CA located in Amador County up in the gold country. When the creeks ran dry in the summertime the gold miners had nothing to do but fiddle around, so Fiddletown has a storied history of socializing through music. This tiny mountain town opens its door to the public and music floats on the air from many sources. Many homes become music parlors and anyone with a musical instrument is welcome to join in the fun. This kind of parlor music is great fun. There were also Fiddling competitions on a stage. Winners were chosen in four age groups.

The town was also home to many Chinese miners. Water sources would dry up in the summertime, preventing miners from searching for minerals. Instead, they "fiddled around," earning the town its name.
