Molly, a talented acoustic guitarist and banjo player, established herself as a prominent figure in modern folk, bluegrass, and Americana scenes after starting in her father’s bluegrass band. In 2015, she initiated a crowdfunding campaign to finance her first solo project. Her seven-song EP, “Rise,” was released in 2017, coinciding with her historic win as the first woman to receive the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Guitar Player of the Year Award. Early in 2022, she unveiled “Crooked Tree,” the lead single from her full-length LP, marking her debut with her bluegrass collective, Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway.
For her Spotify Singles, Molly gave a bluegrass twist to Olivia Rodrigo’s “good 4 u,” the 2021 Best New Artist winner. Additionally, she released a revamped version of her hit single “Dooley’s Farm,” which she performed live on stage.
In Molly’s words, “I chose to cover ‘Good 4 U’ by Olivia Rodrigo, who won the Best New Artist Grammy last year. When I first heard it, I just thought this was such a great song and I love the teenage angst to it. It kind of reminds me of the pop-punk music that I grew up listening to and playing with my friends back in high school so I thought it would be really fun to cover this song and put a bluegrass spin on it.”
