Bruce Molsky

Bruce Molsky is one of the most revered “multi-hyphenated career” ambassadors for America’s old-time mountain music.

For decades, he’s been a globetrotting performer, ethnomusicologist and educator, a recording artist with an expansive discography including seven solo albums, well over a dozen collaborations and two Grammy-nominations. He’s also the classic “musician’s musician” – a man who’s received high praise from diverse fans and collaborators from Linda Ronstadt, Mark Knopfler, Donal Lunny,Andy Irvine, Bill Frisell and Jerry Douglas, a true country gentleman by way of the Big Apple aptly dubbed “the Rembrandt of Appalachian fiddlers” ( Darol Anger).

Molsky digs deep to transport audiences to another time and place, with his authentic feel for and the unearthing of almost-forgotten rarities from the Southern Appalachian songbook. Molsky seduces audiences with a combination of rhythmic and melodic virtuosity and relaxed conversational wit – a uniquely humanistic, down-home approach that can make Carnegie Hall feel like a front porch or intimate jam session.

Bruce Molsky is part of the Traverse's £1 Ticket Project.

The Traverse is funded by Creative Scotland and The City of Edinburgh Council.
