The early Scottish and Irish immigrants who relocated in southern Appalachia carried with them their culture, stories, and music. Their ballads, jigs, reels, and spirited tunes served as a foundation of what we know as the region's unique musical heritage. Highland, Heath & Holler documents this remarkable cultural journey with musicians who are both steeped in their own traditions and far-reaching in their artistic world views. This special concert features five accomplished artists from three countries: representing Scotland are Shedd favorites, master fiddler Alasdair Fraser and brilliant, ever-entertaining cellist Natalie Haas; representing Ireland, the impressive musical partnership of fiddler Martin Hayes and guitarist Dennis Cahill; and from the Appalachia, we welcome back the great Bruce Molsky, who has been called "the Rembrandt of Appalachian fiddling."
