Since 2004, Americana trio Red Molly has been bringing audiences to their feet with gorgeous three-part harmonies, crisp musicianship, and their warm, engaging stage presence. The band consists of Laurie MacAllister (bass), Abbie Gardner (dobro) and Molly Venter (guitar). In 2013, Red Molly were invited to open multiple shows for music legend Willie Nelson and they performed at the venerable RockyGrass festival in Colorado. Their previous CD Light in the Sky (2011) spent 20 weeks on the Americana Music Association’s Top 40 radio chart and charted as Folk DJ’s #3 Top Album of 2012. In 2013, the band toured throughout Australia, and, for the first time, also performed at Denmark’s Tonder Festival. They were also invited to appear for the third time at NC’s legendary music gathering, MerleFest. They also made a fourth appearance at the Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion, where in September 2012 the Bristol Herald Courier dubbed Red Molly “The Twin City’s sweethearts”, saying the band “lit up the stage, as a massive crowd of adoring fans sat mesmerized by their silky smooth harmonies and superb musicianship.”
