Jay Ungar and Molly Mason

Lighthouse Theatre, Port Dover, Ontario on Friday September 26, 2008
at 8:00 PM.

Port Dover Harbour Museum presents

American Roots Music Legends at the Lighthouse Theatre

Jay 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 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.

When you hear their 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.

Jay and Molly will be performing along with Jay’s daughter Ruth and
her husband Mike Merenda creating a quartet featuring fiddles, guitar,
banjo, mandolin, piano, sweet sweet harmonies and more.

This will be a very special evening
