Jay Ungar & Molly Mason

By Liz Bulkley on Thursday, September 28, 2006.

Jay Ungar and Molly Mason have come to define traditional fiddle and dance music. The husband-and-wife duo are best known for their Grammy-winning song, "Ashokan Farewell", which was featured prominently in Ken Burns' documentary, "The Civil War". Their music ranges from country swing to New England Contra dance to Appalachian Waltzes. They're heading to Brownfield Maine to perform at the new Stone Mountain Arts Center this Friday. Tonight they join us in the Front Porch studio to play some tunes and give us their take on today's folk scene.
