ay Ungar & Molly Mason are extraordinary musicians. If you didn't  
know it before, you sure did after Ken Burns' The Civil War hit the  
airwaves. Their performance of Jay's haunting composition "Ashokan  
Farewell" — the musical hallmark of the PBS series — earned the  
couple international acclaim. The soundtrack won a Grammy and  
"Ashokan Farewell" — originally inspired by Jay & Molly's annual  
fiddle and dance camps — was nominated for an Emmy.

Of course "Ashokan Farewell" is only part of the story.

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 Brother's Keeper,  
Legends of the Fall, and a host of Ken Burns documentaries.

And what of the event that inspired their signature tune? Jay and  
Molly's Ashokan Fiddle & Dance Camps — in New York's Catskill  
Mountains — remain a favorite learning vacation destination for music  
and dance enthusiasts all across the country.

If you love American acoustic music, a Jay Ungar & Molly Mason  
concert is a must.
