Bruce Molsky will conduct a workshop from 3:30-5:00 pm on May 8th, the day of the concert. Tuition is $25, $20 for concert ticket holders. Bruce has become known as one of the most influential traditional fiddlers of his generation. The Minneapolis Star-Tribune calls him "old-time music's answer to Ry Cooder - a commanding musician with a voracious appetite for traditional music styles."Bruce will offer an intensive 'hands-on' fiddle workshop. He'll be guiding a small group of fiddlers through the intricacies of playing in the old-time southern mountain style, which predates bluegrass, country western and many of the styles on commercial radio and television. Participants need not be advanced players. A small repertoire of tunes and the ability to learn short phrases of music by ear is recommended. Bring your fiddle, tape or disk recorder and the desire to learn a few fun tunes! Please sign up at The Shedd Institute Ticket Office.
