On Friday, November 18 at 8 p.m. the Princeton Folk Music Society presents an evening of fiddle, banjo, guitar, and song with Bruce Molsky at Christ Congregation Church, 50 Walnut Lane.

The Grammy-nominated artist is known for his authentic and personal interpretations of rarities from the Southern Appalachian songbook and other musical traditions from around the globe. His combination of technical virtuosity and relaxed conversational wit makes a concert hall feel like an intimate front porch gathering. He has collaborated with such players as Andy Irvine, Donal Lunny, Darol Anger, Tony Trischka, and Allison de Groot.

Molsky also serves the folk tradition by teaching at camps, festivals, and online. He is the visiting scholar in the American Roots Music Program at Berklee College of Music, where he is the go-to guy for the next generation of roots musicians.

Tickets are $5-$20. Visit Princetonfolk.org.
