Bruce Molsky

SEALL are delighted that Bruce is coming back in May to play again in Sleat as part of an extended UK tour.

Molsky 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.”

And find it he does. Molsky’s brand of “global folk” has led to stints with the GRAMMY-nominated Fiddlers 4 and the Irish, Hungarian, and Dutch musicians of the supergroup Mozaik.

“When Molsky plays, you can practically hear the floorboards and rocking chair creak on the back porch.” – Tony Hillier, Rhythms Magazine
