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 stopped by the Front Porch studio to play some tunes and give us their take on today's folk scene.
