We’re very excited to welcome one of the hottest rising stars in the Bluegrass world and an award-winning guitarist, singer and songwriter - Molly Tuttle! - for an in-store performance to celebrate her new album Crooked Tree, which is released on vinyl this Friday, May 13th.
Recorded live at Nashville's Oceanway Studios, Crooked Tree was produced by Tuttle and Jerry Douglas and features collaborations with Sierra Hall, Old Crow Medicine Show, Margo Price, Billy Strings, Dan Tyminski, and Gillian Welch. The album explores Tuttle's lifelong love of bluegrass-a genre she first discovered through her father, a music teacher and multi-instrumentalist, and her grandfather, a banjo player. Across these thirteen original tracks, all written or co-written by Tuttle, she simultaneously honors the bluegrass tradition while also pushing the genre in new directions. Tuttle says, "I always knew I wanted to make a bluegrass record someday. Once I started writing, everything flowed so easily: sometimes I've felt an internal pressure to come up with a sound no one's heard before, but this time my intention was just to make an album that reflected the music that's been passed down through generations in my family. I found a way to do that while writing songs that feel true to who I am, and it really helped me to grow as a songwriter."
In addition to performing a short set in the shop, Molly will sign copies of her record & CD for fans. This in-store performance and signing is free and open to all ages.
