Jay Ungar & Molly Mason: the Heart & Soul of American Roots Music

Ungar and Mason come the Townsend on Thursday, April 26. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. Playing fiddle, mandolin, banjo, guitar and piano, Ungar and Mason delight audiences wherever they roam.

Their concerts are often a musical travelogue featuring fiddle music from a variety of traditions including Appalachian, Bluegrass, Cajun, Irish and Scottish Highland. Ungar and Mason won international acclaim after "The Civil War" aired on PBS featuring Jay's haunting composition, "Ashokan Farewell." Ken Burns, the producer, described the husband and wife duo perfectly: “Jay and Molly play music from the heart, which reminds us of the best in all of us.”
