Red Molly
Add To My Artists

Red Molly is a folk trio consisting of Laurie MacAllister (vocals, guitar, banjo), Abbie Gardner (vocals, guitar, Dobro, lap steel guitar), and Carolann Solebello (vocals, guitar, precision acoustic bass, mandolin). They perform original works composed by each of the group members, as well as covers of other songwriters including Hank Williams, Gillian Welch and Ryan Adams. Their fans are known as Redheads.

Red Molly was formed late one night at the 2004 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. Abbie, Carolann, and Laurie, solo singer/songwriters, were the last ones left at a song circle. They liked the way they sounded together and decided to form a band. There are many theories of where the name comes from but on their website they state that it has nothing to do with the character from the Richard Thompson song 1952 Vincent Black Lightning but was inspired by Emmylou Harris's album Red Dirt Girl.

Their career started to take off in 2006. They were the top vote getters in the 2006 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Emerging Artist Showcase. WUMB in Boston named them Top New Artist of the Year and picked their Album Never Been to Vegas one of their Top 10 Albums of 2006. They appeared in John Platt' [Read more]

Hoots & Hellmouth
Add To My Artists

Hoots & Hellmouth is an / band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. The band was formed in 2005 by Sean Hoots and Andrew Gray. Both Hoots and Gray (aka Hellmouth) were already veterans of the Pennsylvania scene by the time they began playing together in 2005, having been involved in Philadelphia-area bands Pilot Round The Sun and Midiron Blast Shaft.

They initially started the group as a duo, playing music intended to evoke the feeling of revival shows. They eventually expanded to four members, adding Rob Berliner on mandolin and John Branigan on upright bass (both former members of Pilot Round The Sun along with Hoots). They play without a live drummer, instead stomping and using hand percussion such as tambourines.

After a breakout performance at the Philadelphia Folk Festival in 2006 and several successful tours through the southern United States, Hoots & Hellmouth began to develop a loyal fan following. The group's self-titled debut album appeared in 2007 on Mad Dragon Records, distributed by Warner; the follow-up, The Holy Open Secret, arrived in 2009.
