Since joining forces in the late 1970s, Jay and Molly have become one of the most celebrated duos on the American acoustic music scene. With their comfortable sense of fun and their love of music, they make each concert a musical journey - sometimes spanning two continents and two centuries. Their incomparable warmth and wit - coupled with consummate musicianship - have delighted audiences worldwide.

Listen to the timeless renditions of hard-driving Appalachian, Cajun and Celtic fiddle tunes, stirring Civil War classics, sassy songs from the golden age of swing and country, stunning waltzes, and deeply moving original compositions. It's immediately apparent why Jay and Molly concerts warm the heart, feed the soul, and appeal to all ages. No wonder they continue to receive widespread critical praise.

They've garnered legions of fans through their appearances on Great Performances, A Prairie Home Companion, their own public radio specials, and work on film soundtracks such as My Brother's Keeper, Legends of the Fall, and a host of Ken Burns documentaries. Jay's haunting composition, Ashokan Farewell, the theme of Ken Burns' Civil War Series, was inspired by Jay and Molly's Ashokan Fiddle & Dance Camps - in New York's Catskill Mountains - a favorite learning vacation destination for music and dance enthusiasts all across the country.
