I like Red Molly

I am in awe.  Last night I saw one of my favorite singer/songwriters, Molly Venter in her new role as the latest addition to the band Red Molly.  Molly has impressed me for years as a solo singer/songwriter (we were a year apart at Williams).  She writes strong, sweet songs and her voice can stop a train in its tracks.  She's been an enormous influence on me and my music from my earliest days, and I've been watching her artistry develop over the past decade.

For years, Molly toured the country relentlessly as a solo act - booking her own shows, sleeping in her car, making the big sacrifices for her music.  She has earned her stripes and her talent grows by leaps and bounds every time I see her play.  I was wowed by last night's show and so proud of my friend who now shares the stage (and the touring load) with two other excellent musicians and has elevated her music and performance to a world-class level.  In this fickle music business, is so heartening to see what can come from determination and hard work.  Red Molly is not to be missed when they come through your town.  Check out their tour dates and a new favorite of mine, Molly's latest song.
