Description
đ» Bronwyn Keith-Hynes Steps Into the SpotlightGrammy-winning fiddle virtuoso Bronwyn Keith-Hynes is making a bold new move in her career. After years of wowing audiences as the dynamic fiddler for Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway, the two-time IBMA Fiddle Player of the Year is stepping into the role of bandleader for the very first timeâbringing both her instrumental mastery and vocal talent to center stage.
Known for her fiery fiddle playing and pure, rootsy singing, Bronwynâs debut vocal album, I Built A World, earned her a Grammy nomination in February. The project showcases not only her instrumental skill but also her emerging voice as a frontwoman and songwriter. As American Songwriter puts it, sheâs âa world-class fiddler with a golden voice.â
Now, as she carves her own path in bluegrass history, Bronwyn is joining the ranks of genre legendsânot just following in their footsteps, but collaborating with them. I Built A World features appearances by Sam Bush and Jerry Douglas, two of the most revered names in acoustic music, alongside other notable friends and mentors from her musical journey.
Keith-Hynesâ sound blends high-octane bluegrass with the soul of country and American roots music. Backed by a powerhouse ensemble of hand-picked Nashville musicians, her band reflects the close-knit, collaborative spirit of todayâs bluegrass scene.
With a career already filled with high-profile collaborations and critical acclaim, Bronwyn Keith-Hynes is now charting her own courseâbringing her undeniable talent, passion, and vision to audiences in an exciting new way.
Cold Chocolate is a genre-bending Americana band that fuses folk, funk, and bluegrass to create a unique sound all their own. Featuring Ethan Robbins on guitar and mandolin & Ariel Bernstein on percussion and banjo, this power duo from Boston is impressing audiences throughout New England and beyond. Punctuated by tight harmonies and skillful musicianship, and with a focus on songwriting, Cold Chocolate has quickly gained recognition for their original music and high-energy shows. The band has shared bills with Leftover Salmon and David Grisman, and regularly performs at venues and music festivals across the country.
