Bruce Molsky is one of the most revered “multi-hyphenated career” ambassadors for America’s old-time mountain music. For decades, he’s been a globetrotting performer, ethnomusicologist and educator, a recording artist with an expansive discography including seven solo albums, well over a dozen collaborations and two Grammy-nominations. He’s also the classic “musician’s musician” – a man who’s received high praise from diverse fans and collaborators, a true country gentleman by way of the Big Apple.

Bruce digs deep to transport audiences to another time and place. His foils are not only his well-regarded fiddle work, but banjo, guitar and his distinctly resonant vocals. From tiny folk taverns in the British Isles to huge festival stages to his ongoing workshops at the renowned Berklee College of Music, Molsky seduces audiences with a combination of rhythmic and melodic virtuosity and relaxed conversational wit that can make Carnegie Hall feel like a front porch or parlor jam session.

Rich Stillman has taught literally hundreds of students to play banjo, both face-to-face and worldwide through Internet lessons. He played and recorded with New England bands Southern Rail, Adam Dewey and Crazy Creek, The Bogus Family and WayStation, and has memorably (at least for him) played sets with Peter Rowan, James Monroe and the Arlington High School orchestra. Rich wrote “Bluegrass Banjo from All Sides” for Mel Bay, and one of his BCN workshops was turned into a chapter in the book “Banjo Camp”. Rich teaches banjo at Tufts University and Concord Academy and at The Music Emporium in Lexington.

A graduate of the voice program at New York City’s renowned LaGuardia High School, and a graduate of Boston’s Berklee College of Music as an upright bass principal, Nate Sabat’s musical roots are in choral singing. At Berklee, he delved into the thriving Boston acoustic music scene, performing, studying, and writing music inspired by bluegrass, old-time, and Celtic traditions. He has performed and studied with the Kronos Quartet, The New York Pops, Tony Trischka, Eugene Friesen and Bruce Molsky, and was one of sixteen musicians chosen to attend the 2014 Acoustic Music Seminar in Savannah, GA, where he worked with Bela Fleck, Mike Marshall, and Chris Eldridge.

Evan Murphy has been a creative force on guitar and voice in New England since he became enamored with folk and bluegrass at age 18 and started accompanying himself on traditional songs. Raised in Milton, Massachusetts, Evan received a bachelors degree in Theater and Music at Boston College in 2012. During his four years there he played in a folk band and began songwriting. After graduating from BC he moved to New York City, where he formed a bluegrass quintet called Tenafly Rye, and studied bluegrass guitar and voice with Michael Daves. Now a resident of Boston again, Evan spends his time rehearsing and performing with Mile Twelve and teaching guitar.

Larry Marschall was a founder of the Busted-Toe Mudthumpers, predecessor of the Highwoods String Band, and since the 1960’s has played banjo with various bands including Yonder City (with Dick Staber, Tracy Schwarz and Jerry McCoury) and the West Orrtanna String Band, with whom he opened for Ralph Stanley, Jim and Jesse, Alan Ginsburg, and the Flying Wallendas. He recently returned to performing and teaching bluegrass banjo after a long digression as an astronomy professor and science writer. His banjo style, admired by his peers as both melodically and harmonically inventive, has been described as “full of dark energy”.
