Bruce Molsky

Best known for his work on the fiddle, Bruce’s banjo, guitar and his distinctive, powerful vocals also resonate with listeners. His combination of technical virtuosity and relaxed conversational wit makes a concert hall feel like an intimate front porch gathering. Bruce holds the title of “Visiting Scholar in the American Roots Music Program” at Berklee College of Music, where he is the go-to guy for the next generation of roots musicians.

Michael Daves
As a little boy, Michael Daves began making loud noises, so his loving parents put music instruments in front of him. It was a good plan. He grew up in that grand tradition of staying up late & singing real loud. Heralded as “a leading light of the New York bluegrass scene” by the New York Times, Daves often takes a raw, experimental, jazzed‑up approach to traditional tunes. He has garnered attention for his work with Tony Trischka, Steve Martin, Jacob Jolliff and Peter Rowan, and his "rip-roaring partnership" with mandolinist Chris Thile (Punch Brothers, Nickel Creek) earned the pair a 2011 Grammy nomination. New York Times enthuses: "Bluegrass, in their hands, gets roughed up in the best possible way, with skill and fervor, and a touch of abandon."
