To play traditional music, you’ve got to be something of a folklorist, hand-selecting songs learned from field recordings, festivals, and old-timers. Bruce Molsky goes above and beyond: the world’s premier old-time fiddler walks around with a library’s worth of lyrics and music humming in his head.
“When Molsky plays, you can practically hear the floorboards and rocking chair creak on the back porch.” – Tony Hillier, Rhythms Magazine
“America’s reigning old time fiddler.” – Matt Glaser, fiddler-educator
“The Rembrandt of Appalachian fiddle.” – Darol Anger, fiddler
