Bruce Molsky
Grammy-nominated, described as “an absolute master” (No Depression), Molsky transports audiences to another time and place, with his authentic and personal interpretations of rarities from the Southern Appalachian songbook and other musical traditions from around the globe. Best known for his work on the fiddle, Bruce’s banjo, guitar and his distinctive, powerful vocals also resonate with listeners. His combination of technical virtuosity and relaxed conversational wit makes a concert hall feel like an intimate front porch gathering.
Acclaimed fiddler and singer Bruce Molsky is also a serious threat on banjo and guitar. He’s “one of America’s premier fiddling talents” (Mother Jones) and a Grammy nominated artist.
Bruce’s collaborations with musicians from just about everywhere have allowed his own voice to grow in unexpected directions. His most recent recording “Bruce’s Halling” with Swedish maestro Ale Möller brings together traditions in a new and fresh way, and “Lockdown Breakdown” with longtime friend and colleague Darol Anger explores new fiddle territory, from old-time to Scandinavian to Old School R&B.
No Depression calls his solo album, “If It Ain’t Here When I Get Back“ an album from an absolute master.” Bruce’s guitar album, “Everywhere You Go” was called “a beautiful document” by Acoustic Guitar magazine. In concert, he’s engaging, conversational and personal as he brings listeners into his own unique musical space with tunes, songs and stories from decades of music experiences.
Bruce keeps his creative fires lit through collaborations and teaching, as the go-to guy for the next generations of roots players at Berklee College of Music, where he is the Visiting Scholar in their American Roots Music Program.
Sarah Jarosz: Bruce has long been one of my musical heroes, simply one of the greatest musicians there is, period.
Mark Knopfler: Bruce is one of those great players who ‘gets it.
Julian Lage: Bruce’s guitar music is truly out of this world great.
Chris Eldridge: Bruce is a guiding light of musical integrity and fearlessness.
Linda Ronstadt: There’s an incredible power of history and tradition in his vocals.
