For immediate release on or after February 23, 2001:

Bruce Molsky, old-time fiddler plus, to appear in New York City, Friday, April 13, at 8 PM, in Pinewoods Series Concert.

New York Pinewoods Folk Music Club will present traditional musician Bruce Molsky in concert at Public School 41, 116 West 11th Street near 6th Avenue in Greenwich Village, New York City, on Friday evening, April 13, 2001. The show begins at 8 PM. This concert is one in a series of six per year presented by Pinewoods and is free to club members. General public admission is $13. Seniors citizens and students pay only $9 each. Children¹s admission is just $6. For further information the public can call Evy Mayer at [phone] after 11 AM.

One of the most influential old-time fiddlers around today, Bruce Molsky is also a remarkable guitarist, banjoist and singer. His high-spirited music melds the haunting mountain sounds of Appalachia with the power of the blues and the rhythmic intricacies of traditional African music. The Washington Post says Bruce's music "set into motion melodies that radiate enormous spirit and momentum," and Sing Out! says his fiddling "combines precision and abandon so perfectly that it raises the hairs on the back of your neck."

Bruce has performed extensively at festivals and concert venues throughout the United States, including at Lincoln Center in New York City and at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington, DC. He toured the United Kingdom with internationally acclaimed fiddler Kevin Burke and others in the historic Fiddles on Fire tour, and he has been a featured performer at Fiddles of the World in Nova Scotia, Canada. Bruce has also toured extensively in Germany, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and Finland.

In addition to winning numerous awards at fiddle and banjo contests throughout American South, Bruce has been featured on the Minnesota Public Radio program A Prairie Home Companion. His new solo CD recording, Poor Man's Troubles, has received great praise by the Washington Post, the Washington Times, Bluegrass Unlimited, and others.

If that's the Bruce Molsky from the Washington, D.C. area, don't miss him. He's great. And not just on the fiddle. A wonderful singer and banjo picker, too. But hus fiddle playing is unbelievable.

Wow, Anna, thanks for thinking of me. Well, you might say I'm sorta back... what's left of me anyway. Been swallowed up alive by work and physical stuff. It's great to see that you're still thriving here in Mudcat.

Kisses, all.
