Molly Tuttle

Molly Tuttle fascinates me as a steward of a tradition who still sounds entirely her own. A California native, she sings, writes, and plays guitar and banjo with a technical command, flatpicking, clawhammer, crosspicking, that left me genuinely impressed. Winning the 2018 Americana Instrumentalist of the Year and naming Alison Krauss and Hazel Dickens as role models, she clearly honors bluegrass lineage while pushing it forward. I have a soft spot for artists who choose a deep, unglamorous genre and elevate it through sheer craft. Tuttle feels like exactly that, a young carrier of an old, beautiful flame.
