Bruce Molsky

American folk and roots singer/songwriter Bruce Molsky is one of the most influential, exciting and revered fiddlers on the worldwide folk scene. He also happens to be a remarkable and hugely entertaining guitarist, banjoist and singer.

Bruce takes the traditional mountain sounds of Appalachia, adds a bit of blues 'welly' and a taste of traditional African music to make something totally his own and very, very exciting. He's been called 'old-time music's answer to Ry Cooder' and 'The Rembrandt of Appalachian Fiddling'.

'When Molsky plays, you can practically hear the floorboards and rocking chair creak on the back porch' (Tony Hillier, Rhythms Magazine).

Darol Anger is one of the true architects of modern fiddle playing. From his early work as a founding force in the David Grisman Quintet, through the groundbreaking Turtle Island String Quartet, Psychograss, Republic of Strings, The Duo with Mike Marshall, and his current work with Mr Sun, Anger has spent a lifetime proving that the fiddle can sit anywhere: bluegrass, chamber jazz, folk, classical, improvisation, film music and beyond. Strings Magazine notes his role in helping pave the way for string players blending classical, jazz and rock, while WMOT described him as a composer, player and improviser who has "obliterated the distinction between the fiddle and violin."
