Molly Tuttle

Saw Molly Tuttle and the Golden Highway last night. Never seen her before and was most impressed. Amazing guitar player with a talented band of young colorful players. Only complaint was that they would sometimes work up a song and just when they seemed ready to kick into even higher gear and jam out, they would stop. They got more jammy as the set progressed and a couple of the later songs evolved into full blown psychedelic jamgrass (but not using as much distortion or effects as Billy Strings):
They were opening for Infamous Stringdusters but both bands got equal time and then they did a couple numbers with everyone on stage.

I saw her last year at the Aladdin in Portland, Ken. She blew everyone away at that show.
Remind me to tell you the story about a less than kind experience w/ her opening act, Christina Vane.

She's fantastic, she and her band are going places for sure. I get tired of her singing after a while, her voice lacks any grit, but she uses it pretty good and she's got a solid repertoire of her own songs. The real "meat" is in her playing, Definitely a show worth seeing any time they come around.

She already has accomplished quite a bit.
First award I can remember was in 2012 where she won the Chris Austin Songwriting Competition at the Merlefest Music Festival.

I love her but I see her band
I love her but I see her band as something of a boutique experience that's more enjoyable a couple times a year instead of every time she tours nearby. She's an incredible flatpicker, and I like her vocals, although there is a Minnie Mouse burnout factor (Alision Krause is great but I tire of the high pitch after a set). I guess I'm just not crazy about the originals and as someone else mentioned they stop short of opening things up to explore. I don't want to be a jamband only person, I really enjoy solid bluegrass where she is excellent, but the originals aren't it for me. I love Sierra Ferrell who doesn't do jams, but her music is interesting enough to hold it's own without it. I can't really say the same for Molly Tulle's band, but I hope she is successful so I can still go see her play once in awhile as a treat.
