NOON30: Bruce Molsky & Maeve Gilchrist
A transatlantic duo rooted in Southern Appalachian fiddle music and Scottish harp explores the common space between.
Grammy-nominated and described as “an absolute master” (No Depression), Bruce 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, Molsky’s banjo, guitar and his distinctive, powerful vocals also resonate with listeners. His take on tradition has landed him in collaborations with some of the world’s most highly respected players from roots to rock, including Mark Knopfler, Anonymous 4, Andy Irvine, Donal Lunny, Aly Bain and Jerry Douglas. He is a mentor to many as a traditional music educator, and tours actively with longtime collaborators Darol Anger, Tony Trischka and Alison de Groot.
