Just released on May 1, Bruce’s Hailing is a collaboration by master musicians Bruce Molsky & Ale Möller. Both multi-instrumentalists, Bruce’s Hailing mostly features Molsky on fiddle and Möller on a custom-built “drone mandola”; the music takes surprising turns in blending traditions from Appalachia and Sweden. The duo recorded the album following a 2024 tour of Sweden, and now they are bringing the music on the road in the U.S. for a series of May tour dates, including this Sugar Maple Concert Series stop.

Bruce Molsky:

Grammy-nominated, described as “an absolute master” (No Depression), Molsky transports audiences to another time and place, with his authentic and personal interpretations of rarities from the Southern Appalachian songbook and other musical traditions from around the globe. Best known for his work on the fiddle, Bruce’s banjo, guitar and his distinctive, powerful vocals also resonate with listeners. His combination of technical virtuosity and relaxed conversational wit makes a concert hall feel like an intimate front porch gathering.

​"Molsky is easily one of the nation's most talented fiddlers...he transports you ... geographically, historically, and most of all emotionally" — Mother Jones

Ale Möller:

Multiple Grammy Award - winner, Ale Möller creates his own musical universe. Regardless of the genre, Ale Möller works his way into the source code of the music he encounters and he obtains an almost unique legendary status for how he expanded the concept of folk and traditional music for decades.
