And then there was the one that wasn’t planned at all . . . I was at the Rauland Winter Festival in Norway this past February with Arto Järvelä and Ånon Egeland. The plan was to play a few shows together, share some music and a good visit. And somehow we ended up with that, plus a couple of days in the recording studio where we put down some track and then we added live performances done in Oslo later that week. It was magic playing with those guys. Coming June 23!
And THEN Molsky’s Mountain Drifters -- Allison de Groot, Stash Wyslouch and me. The new CD is recorded, and will be out in mid-July. We love playing together, and love where this is going!
In the meantime, I'm in England and Scotland for solo shows in some of my very favorite spots. It’ll be great to see old friends at The Old Queens Head in Islington, and also explore some new places like Kingskerswell in Devon. And then up into the Scottish Highlands for some fresh air and maybe a dram or three.
In the Hudson Valley in New York where I live, a new publication has been launched by the awesome photographer Kate Orne. Upstate Diary is an ongoing journal of photo essays, and I’m so pleased to have been featured this month. http://www.upstatediary.com/bruce-molsky/ and Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UpstateDiary/
Summer camp and festival season will be firing up shortly, too - check the tour page for for all the goings on - I hope to see you out there.
Here’s to being swamped!
Warm wishes,
Bruce
p.s. If you haven't been able to get into my other workshops, you might take a look at:
Berklee’s Global String Intensive - there will be an incredible palette of bow-based styles, from folk and bluegrass to jazz, classical, middle eastern music and everything in between. It’s been life-changing for me to be part of the Berklee community, and this event is really a confluence of many of the things that make it a great place to study.
