Grammy-nominated fiddler Bruce Molsky kicks off the summer at The Myrna Loy!
Best known for his work on the fiddle, Bruce’s banjo, guitar, and powerful vocals also resonate with listeners. Described as “an absolute master,” Molsky transports audiences with his unique interpretations of rarities from the Southern Appalachian songbook, and other musical traditions from around the globe.
His combination of technical virtuosity and relaxed conversational wit makes any venue feel like an intimate front porch gathering.
Bruce’s take on tradition has landed him in collaborations with some of the world’s most highly respected players from roots to rock. He is a special guest on legend rocker Mark Knopfler’s recent CD, “Tracker.” His 1865 Songs of Hope & Home with Anonymous 4, was on Billboard’s top 10 for weeks.
You can see Bruce on the BBC TV “Transatlantic Sessions” with Aly Bain and Jerry Douglas, and on “David Holt’s State of Music” on PBS. He stays active touring and recording with longtime collaborators Darol Anger, Tony Trischka, and Mountain Drifters’ Allison de Groot.
“Performing and teaching traditional music are the biggest things in my world. For me, being a musician isn’t a standalone thing; it informs everything I do in my life. It’s always been about being creative and being a part of something much bigger than myself, a link in the musical chain and part of the community of people who play it and love it.”
