|  Bruce Molsky ~ Friday, Jan. 9 in Baltimore
Known as the "Rembrandt of Appalachian fiddle," Bruce Molsky paints a vivid picture with every song, his violin and period-perfect voice immediately conjuring hidden hollers, cold creeks and wild blue skies. Molsky is known for his ingenious incorporation of multiple genres into his "old-time" style of play, having performed with the Grammy-nominated Fiddlers 4 and the Irish, Hungarian, and Dutch musicians of the supergroup Mozaik. Tickets and info HERE. |

With 2014 Blues Music Association nominations for Acoustic Album of the Year (Juba Dance) and Acoustic Artist of the Year, as well as spending over a month at the top of the Blues charts, Guy Davis "breathes new life into the country blues idiom" (Blues Blast Magazine). The son of famed actor/civil rights activists Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis, Guy celebrates and expands the music and stories he learned at the knees of his parents and grandparents.
