Seattle Folklore Society presents two shows at the Phinney Center this weekend: fiddle/banjo/guitar/songwriting master Bruce Molsky at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and legendary Scottish band Tannahill Weavers at 7:30 p.m. Sunday. Both concerts are in the PNA’s Brick Building, in Community Hall. Tickets for Bruce Molsky are $18 general, $16 SFS/PNA members, seniors and students; kids half price. Tickets for Tannahill Weavers are $20 general, $18 SFS/PNA members, seniors and students; kids half price (all tickets for all concerts are $2 more day of the show.)
With guitar, fiddle, or banjo in hand, Bruce Molsky explores traditional music from an astonishingly broad range of cultures, synthesizing them and refracting them through his own evolving sensibilities to the point where the sources of his inspiration transform themselves into a sound that is uniquely his. While most identified with traditional American old-time music, Molsky’s influences range from the Appalachian soul of Tommy Jarrell to Delta blues; from the haunting modal strains of Irish music to the rhythmically nimble music of Eastern Europe.
The Tannahill Weavers are one of Scotland’s premier traditional bands. Their diverse repertoire spans centuries with fire-driven instrumentals, topical songs, and original ballads and lullabies, demonstrating to old and young alike the rich and varied musical heritage of the Celtic people. These versatile musicians have received worldwide accolades consistently over the years for their exuberant performances and outstanding recording efforts that seemingly can’t get better…yet continue to do just that.
