Bruce Molsky at TCCC

Tompkins Corners will present Grammy-nominated Bruce Molsky. Described as “an absolute master” (No Depression), Bruce transports audiences to another time and place with his authentic and personal interpretations of rarities from the Southern Appalachian songbook and other musical traditions from around the globe. 

Best known for his work on the fiddle, Bruce’s banjo, guitar, and 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's take on tradition has landed him in collaborations with some of the world's most highly respected players from roots to rock. He has performed with Mark Knopfler, Andy Irvine, Donal Lunny, Darol Anger, Tony Trischka, and Allison de Groot, and has appeared on BBC's Transatlantic Sessions and PBS's David Holt's State of Music. 

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. 

“Performing and teaching traditional music are the biggest things in my world. For me, being a musician isn’t a standalone thing; it informs everything I do in my life. It’s always been about being creative and being a part of something much bigger than myself, a link in the musical chain and part of the community of people who play it and love it.”

Tickets are $25 and may also be purchased at the door. Students are Free. TCCC’s signature home-baked goods and beverages will be available.
