About this Event

Darol Anger and Bruce Molsky bring together a huge slice of the fiddling universe.

Together, they have explored the American Roots landscape for almost two decades, sharing a creative story that’s resulted in epic collaborations such the Grammy-nominated Fiddlers Four (with Michael Doucet and Rushad Eggleston), performing on each other’s concerts and recordings, and finding endless joy in playing music together.

Freestyle fiddler, composer, producer and educator, Darol Anger is at home in a number of musical genres, some of which he helped to invent. Exceptional among modern fiddlers for his versatility and depth, Anger has helped drive the evolution of the contemporary string band through his involvement with numerous pathbreaking ensembles such as his Republic Of Strings, the Turtle Island String Quartet, the David Grisman Quintet, The Montreux Band, his Duo with Mike Marshall, his current touring group Mr Sun, and others. He has performed and taught all over the world with musicians such as Dr. Billy Taylor, Bela Fleck, Bill Evans, Edgar Meyer, Bill Frisell, Tony Rice, Tim O’Brien, The Anonymous 4, Marin Alsop and the Cabrillo Orchestra, the Detroit Symphony, Bruce Molsky, Mark O’Connor, and Stephane Grappelli. He is a Professor Emeritus at the Berklee College Of Music and is deeply involved in music education.

Described as “an absolute master” (No Depression Magazine), 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 legendary rocker Mark Knopfler’s CD, “Tracker.” His 1865 Songs of Hope & Home with Anonymous 4 was on Billboard’s top 10 for weeks. Along with Andy Irvine & Donal Lunny, Bruce is a founding member of the supergroup Mozaik, with three recordings. 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. Bruce holds the position of “Visiting Scholar in the American Roots Music Program” at Berklee College of Music, where he is the go-to authority for the next generation of roots musicians.
