Fiddlers 4 is a gathering of some of today's most celebrated fiddlers. Michael Doucet is well loved for his work as the leader of Cajun supergroup Beausoleil. Darol Anger, a veteran of the David Grisman Quintet and founding member of the Turtle Island String Quartet, is the leading exponent of jazz-hued newgrass. Bruce Molsky is internationally revered as a leading old time fiddler and Rushad Eggleston, a hot newcomer cellist, is lauded for his scorching technique. Each has made a major musical statement and helped revolutionize his field, inspiring numerous emulators and new genres. Their repertoire spans a heroic reach of American culture, covering the spectrum of American fiddle, from the oldest dance tunes to sophisticated jazz sounds, with singing and stories. On their debut album, Fiddlers 4, these masters create a cross-cultural fiddling extravaganza, with stops in the Louisiana bayou, the Appalachian mountains and the Marin foothills. Fiddler players across the world are coming together and realizing the great potential of fiddle music to move and inspire all ages. In this spirit, these influential and accomplished musicians have joined forces to create something beautiful and new out of very old cloth.
