Biography

BRUCE MOLSKY -FIDDLE BANJO GUITAR & SONG Known and respected internationally for decades as a master fiddler, preserver of American music traditions, and multi-style collaborator, and as Berklee College of Music American Roots Visiting Scholar -- Bruce comes at southern roots with great depth of spirit, passion, and respect for the past. His wide-angled approach to traditional folk music has been infused by rhythms and melodies from around the world and he in turn is influencing a new generation of players. Bruce's first musical love was finger-style guitar and his latest release, “Everywhere You Go,” dives into intimate and unique arrangements of a wide swath of tunes and songs through his own musical lens, from African, Scandinavian, Scottish, Irish, American; both old and new. Longtime colleagues Darol Anger and Scottish Gàidhealtachd singer Mary Ann Kennedy lift things up on a few pieces. But mostly this is Bruce’s introspective and very solo exploration of a lifetime of his most loved songs and tunes. "It’s rare for a fingerstyle guitar record to cover as much ground with so much depth and authenticity. " --Acoustic Guitar Magazine "Bruce Molsky has long been one of my musical heroes, Bruce is simply one of the greatest musicians there is, period. " --Sarah Jarosz
