Bruce Molsky was in the studio recently, recording new lessons for his popular Old-Time Fiddle course on Peghead Nation. He took a break, got out on the porch, and delivered a fun performance of his often-requested version of “Train on the Island” followed by the old-time favorite “Texas Sally Ann.” Bruce was joined by songwriter, singer, and guitarist Vivian Leva and multi-instrumentalist Riley Calcagno. The duo can be heard on Vivian’s excellent recent album of original songs, Time Is Everything.”

Learn fiddle with Bruce in his Old-Time Fiddle course or learn clawhammer banjo with him in his Wade Ward–Style Banjo course. Enroll in either course and get your first month free with the promo code “BruceLand”.
