Grammy Nominee Bruce Molsky Performs at the Depot Theatre
The Philipstown Depot Theatre welcomes Grammy nominee musician Bruce Molsky, Sunday January 14 at 7:30pm. Fiddle, guitar, or banjo in hand, Bruce Molsky has been exploring traditional music from an astonishingly broad range of cultures over the past two decades - synthesizing them and refracting them through his own evolving sensibilities to the point where the sources of his inspiration transform themselves into a sound that is uniquely his.
While most identified with American traditional old-time music, Molsky's influences range from the Appalachian soul of Tommy Jarrell to Delta blues, from the haunting modal strains of Irish music to 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. His other recordings have become staples for music lovers of every genre. Among his six solo recordings, Contented Must Be (Rounder) was released in April 2004. Poor Man's Troubles (Rounder) won a 2001 "Indie" award for Best Traditional Folk recording and received great praise from the Washington Post, Washington Times, Bluegrass Unlimited and others.
Bruce has also been featured on Garrison Keillor's acclaimed A Prairie Home Companion radio show. The collaboration Highland, Heath & Hollar (Bruce, Martin Hayes & Alasdair Fraser) started its first tour in 2003! Bruce is also a member of Andy Irvine's acclaimed Mozaik (Andy, Bruce, Donal Lunny, Nikola Parov and Rens Van Der Zalm.) His participation in the latest recording 'Abaraka!Tack!" from Swedish/Senegalese helped earn them the 2005 Swedish "Grammy."
Earl Hitchener of the Irish Echo writes, " Bruce Molsky himself holds stage as few roots musicians can: with skill, a varied and deep repertoire, a reverence for the past, a healthy curiosity about music outside Old-time, and a relaxed, conversational wit that draws listeners in as if they were sitting in his living room.
The Philipstown Depot Theatre would like to thank our great community for supporting live music. This performance has been sponsored by Skip Morton and Renie McGrath of RBC Dain Rauscher. To reserve tickets for the Sunday, January 14 concert at 7:30pm, please call the Philipstown Depot Theatre box office at 424-3900. Tickets are $20.
