[dcab-l] Saturday: Bruce Molsky presents fiddlers Brittany Haas & Lauren Rioux at IMT

This Saturday, Bruce Molsky and the Institute of Musical Traditions
present dual old-time fiddles with Brittany Haas (from Crooked Still)
and Lauren Rioux. Join us at 7:30 pm at the Takoma Park Community
Center.

Bruce Molsky, a master old-time musician and an instructor at the
Berklee College of Music in Boston, has joined with IMT to present
some of the great young musicians he meets while teaching and
performing. Bruce says:

"Traditional music continues to evolve with time and place, a
perpetual, joyful work in progress . Brittany and Lauren have both
learned their lessons from old traditions but are also highly informed
by what's new. That puts their intimate and soulful music in the
forefront of what's going on in the acoustic music scene!"

Bruce will be at the show and will sit in with Brittany and Lauren on
some of the tunes.

Many people know Brittany Haas from her time touring with Tony
Trischka or with Darol Anger's Republic of Strings. Some saw her when
she appeared with Laura Cortese, Mariel Vandersteel and sister Natalie
Haas at the Lyceum in Alexandria, or most recently when she played at
Delfest. Most people know Brittany from her fiddling with old-time
group Crooked Still. Since graduating from Princeton in 2009, she's
been taking her 5-string fiddle on tour with Crooked Still and making
new fans all over the world, including a recent appearance at the
Birchmere. Her first CD, Brittany Haas, was released on Ook records in
2004 and includes guest musicians Bruce Molsky, Darol Anger, Todd
Sickafoose, Mike Marshall and her sister Natalie.

Lauren Rioux is a rising star in the national fiddle scene. She
performs with Darol Anger's Republic of Strings, Scott Nygaard and
Crow Molly, and the StringNation Orkestra. A classically trained
violinist and violist, Lauren discovered traditional fiddle music in
2001 at the first National American String Teachers' Association
Convention. She is an excellent role model and source of useful
information for classical players wishing to "cross over' into
vernacular styles. Her powerful sound, vibrant rhythmic sense, fluency
in old-time, Celtic and Scandinavian fiddle styles, and her tremendous
personal charm add depth and interest to any ensemble.
