About Me |
|
Red Molly was born on a hillside in the pre-dawn hours of the 2004 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. As they sang their camp-mates off to sleep in the darkness, Laurie MacAllister, Abbie Gardner and Carolann Solebello knew immediately they had stumbled into something extraordinary. Audiences seem to agree. Since that momentous night, Red Molly has brought folk fans to their feet all over the Northeast with stunning three-part harmonies, crisp musicianship and a warm, engaging stage presence. In 2006, Red Molly was voted both “Best New Artist” at WUMB-FM, Boston and in a singularly appropriate way - “Most Wanted to Return” at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. In July 2006, Red Molly’s first full-length offering, Never Been to Vegas, was released. Recorded on a chilly December evening before a warm studio audience of fans and friends, Never Been to Vegas is a collection of 14 carefully-chosen songs that span more than a century of great American songwriting. In uncluttered arrangements for three voices, songs by timeless greats like Hank Williams and Billy Edd Wheeler, new traditionalists like Gillian Welch, Patty Griffin, and Red Molly’s own Abbie Gardner mix easily with traditional American folk and gospel. Never Been to Vegas quickly climbed into the top 30 on Radio & Records Americana chart, a rare accomplishment for an independent album. Myspace Editor Pimp MySpace |
