Darol Anger & Scott Law

Somewhere beyond or behind all musical borders lies a creative terrain where bluegrass, jazz, classical, pop, and various world musics mingle, played by musicians who care more for inspiration than they do for genre. If that place has a name, it's surely the Republic of Strings, for no one knows its contours better than veteran Darol Anger and a constantly developing population of young excellent string players, including Scott Law. 

Violinist, fiddler, composer, producer and educator,  Anger is at home in a number of musical genres, some of which he helped to invent. He developed his signature sound through working closely with many of the world’s great improvising string musicians, among them Stephane Grappelli, Edgar Meyer, Mark O’Connor, Bela Fleck, Tony Rice, David Grisman, and Vassar Clements.

Scott Law embodies the ideal of the American Guitar Master; a brilliant and versatile instrumentalist, Law has connected onstage with many of the foremost in contemporary American music - among them Phil Lesh & Friends, String Cheese Incident, Melvin Seals, Bill Nershi, Yonder Mountain String Band, Tony Trischka, Railroad Earth and many others. Scott’s alternately chiming and grinding melodic concept bears favorable comparison with everyone from the early Telecaster masters to Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jerry Garcia and Clarence White while creating a style that bears his unique stamp yet freely ranges over the entire history of the steel-string guitar. Scott’s original compositions bridge pure guitar instrumentals and timeless songs that connect deeply with listeners, sparked by his rare rhythmic concision and rock solid groove.
