The Bozeman Folklore Society is excited to welcome multi-instrumentalist Bruce Molsky to Bozeman for a concert in the acoustically rich setting of the Sanctuary at Pilgrim Congregational Church! Grammy-nominated, described as “an absolute master” (No Depression), Molsky 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 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. “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.” – Bruce Molsky The evening will start with a set by Bozeman’s own Salty Gravy, the acoustic duo of Cabot Metz and Silas Rea. The show is at Pilgrim Congregational Church, 2118 S. 3rd Ave. in Bozeman. Doors open at 7:00 PM, and the show starts at 7:30. Advance tickets are $20 each and can be purchased at https://www.bozemanfolklore.org; remaining tickets will be available at the door for $25 each. Children 12 and under are admitted for free. Bruce will also be teaching a fiddle workshop the next morning, Saturday, June 15, at 10:00 AM at the Gallatin Labor Temple, at 422 E. Mendenhall in Bozeman. Tickets for the workshop are $25 each, and you can purchase a combo ticket for the concert and the workshop for $40.
