Bruce Molsky, fiddle

Bruce is a singer, fiddle player, banjo player and guitarist with regular appearances at the Celtic Connections Festival and BBC Alba's ‘Transatlantic Sessions’. He has lived his musical life incorporating the sounds of his travels, which have taken the Bronx-born musician from Appalachia to Australia and just about everywhere in between. “Community is integral to the music,” Molsky explains. “Most of us started playing in a social context. The music is all about pulse and heartbeat - everybody has that, it’s just expressed a little differently in different places. There’s always common ground that we can find.” Bruce is one of those rare musicians who plays genuine folk music supported by a deep academic understanding of where it comes from.
