This one man band will simply knock your socks off: an astounding phenomenon of talent!  One of the most influential fiddlers of his generation, Bruce Molsky is also  a remarkable guitarist, banjoist and singer. His high-spirited music melds mountain sounds of Appalachia, the power of blues and the rhythmic intricacies of traditional African music, haunting modal strains of Irish music and the rhythmically nimble music of Eastern Europe. 

"Soon Be Time" is Bruce's newest solo recording (Compass Records, May 2006) and features his unique approach to traditional music. Bruce has been featured on Garrison Keillor's acclaimed A Prairie Home Companion radio show, has performed at The Lincoln Center in New York and The Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington, DC.  Bruce is highly sought-after as a fiddle and banjo teacher, and teaches his own intensive instrument workshop all over the U.S.
