Artist Biography
A gifted acoustic guitarist and banjo player who has also made a name for herself as a songwriter and vocalist, Molly Tuttle rose from playing in her father's bluegrass band to becoming one of the leading lights of modern folk, bluegrass, and Americana before she reached her mid-twenties. An in-demand collaborator with virtuosic flatpicking, clawhammer, and cross-picking guitar skills, she launched a solo career in 2017 with the release of the Rise EP. Tuttle's versatile first full-length effort, When You're Ready, followed in 2019. In 2022, she issued her Grammy Award-winning Nonesuch debut, Crooked Tree, which featured her new bluegrass collective, Golden Highway. Tuttle and Golden Highway followed up on the success of the LP in 2023 with City of Gold, another Grammy winner.
