Darol Anger is a visionary violinist and fiddler whose musical ingenuity has made significant waves in the landscape of American string music. Emerging from a deep well of folk tradition, Anger has consistently ventured across the boundaries of genre, wielding his bow with an eclectic flair that unifies elements of jazz, country, and world music. His career has been marked by an adventurous spirit, a profound depth of knowledge, and a willingness to collaborate and innovate.

Over the years, Anger has been a charismatic force in the formation of several influential ensembles, including the Turtle Island String Quartet and the Republic of Strings, as well as his notable partnership with mandolinist Mike Marshall. His discography reflects a prodigious output and an enduring passion for exploration and conversation within music. From "Live at Montreux," which captured the effervescent energy of a live performance, to collaborative projects like "Darol & Scott's Wayfaring Stranger" and the cross-cultural fusion heard in "Mike Marshall & Darol Anger with Väsen," Anger's work consistently redefines and invigorates the canon of string music. His most recent releases, such as "Country Tales" and "American Postcard: Irish American Folk Classics," showcase his deft storytelling through strings and his seamless blending of musical traditions.
