Molly Tuttle In a league of her own been a huge fan of herself and Aj Lee.. This interview filled in the gaps and that she has remained focused. ... She is a DEADLY guitarist Singer-songwriter extraordinaire We love her HERE Greetings from Dublin Ireland brother and sisters

This woman is a brick. I love her qualities , they really radiate in performance but she sure carries herself with huge grace in conversation. Tom's interview is a real pleasure to experience here.

@gastonflatulenza1276 8 месяцев назад

I love Molly's progressive music and I am behind her for life. I love Nickel Creek, and Alison Brown, the Kruger Bros, and Bela. I've seen Bela over 30 times live and I am also with him no matter what he puts out. I just keep listening until I understand it. Molly is a great force for bluegrass and acoustic music and we are so lucky she is on the scene.

I love Molly, and I try to share with my growing 2 year daughter some guitar skills so maybe she will play guitar and will be such a kind and bright person. Greetings from Russia.

@johnlumwhal155 2 года назад

A great interview! She has such a natural way of explaining her first experiences of finding the guitar and realizing that was the instrument she loved and how with her Father giving her pointers it all came together. Also, how we all have struggles and through understanding can help each other. The explanation of how to play the clawhammer style on guitar was done very well and really made it something that could be done if you were interested in learning that style.

Wow ... man! She is just so wonderful in so many ways ;) I've watched a bunch of her youtube videos over the years when she was just a young girl, playing with her father and brother, so its not so surprising to see Molly grow into such a great artist ! I've heard a few songs of her new stuff , which are really good, ... I really like Bluegrass and her Bluegrass play'in but I think its great that she's pushing the barrier of the genre , and I think she's such an accomplished player and authentic " real-deal" talent , that well anything she does is going to be interesting and good .... and I like the way she says "yeah ! " ;) ha! .... and the nice guitars she plays ,her appreciation for early Bluegrass , and how grounded she is ;) Love you Molly !

When Molly Tuttle won guitar player of the year I never even thought about the fact that winning it as a woman was unique. All I thought was “of course she won, she’s one of the best players I’ve ever heard period”. There’s also something very pure and genuine about her. She just seems like a good soul. Needless to say I’m a big fan.

@donhendershot9705 4 года назад

There is no “Bluegrass Barrier”. True Bluegrass has and always will survive on it’s own. It is a personal, shared experience and not some commercial enterprise!

@raywaddell6349 5 лет назад

@Simulera 5 лет назад

So I’ve heard your new stuff and I heard what you said here about the dynamics of changing. You have to evolve, you just have to do it when your brain tells to, it’s not really even a choice. I remember when each new Beatles album came out people would freak, not always in a good way. It’s hard to imagine maybe but they were so very different and people just wanted them to not change. Now the hard push to innovate is part of the obvious genius of what the Beatles did. Anyway, you need to play for us what’s inside your head. So far it’s pretty amazing for the rest of us out here what comes out of your head. Some day you and everybody else will understand. Thanks.

@dlawlis 4 года назад

People have been tinkering with the "boundaries" and definition of Bluegrass ever since Bill Monroe cantankerously laid down rules for what it can and cannot be. There's plenty of room for those who want to take it well past the traditional paradigm, and there's plenty of room for those who just want to be traditional. And as Molly is illustrating there's absolutely no reason a person can't do both and do both quite well.

I've been following Molly's music since the Tuttle Family Band ft. AJ Lee showed up on RU-vid years ago. She's pretty amazing as a musician and a person.😍 This interview was just a bit strange though, and I'm disappointed that she didn't actually get to play anything before it finished.🤔

@bryankeller3492 5 лет назад

I have to say, I am a bit disappointed in her "new direction". I heard her live and the songs lacke "grab" to them. LIke some producer told Molly "Go POP-ish". Also, I'm going to say something that's going to concern and maybe upset ALOT of you. Molly has always been a "slight" person but she was mere BONES when I saw her do a record show concert last Saturday, August 23rd, 2019.Was very pale and appeared tired. She could barely manage a smile. I understand her other underlying medical issues dating back to her as a teenager BUT she looked thin even on TV a week before. Much, MUCH worse than here. She was sitting on the bumper of her van after a short record store gig making a phone call. She looked like she felt a non-spry 85..

@mbsnyderc 5 лет назад

@@bryankeller3492 She doesn't have medical issues outside of being bald from alopecia .i think the rest is in your head,the album sounds more pop because shes 26 years old and listen to music you and i don't .there is nobody making her do anything it's her choice.if she didn't smile is she most likely didn't feel like smiling.if it was a record store gig she still had a gig to get to latter that day.

Saw Molly and her band a couple weeks ago at the Hotel Cafe in LA near Sunset and Hollywood Blvd, Avenue of the Stars, etc, the venue holding maybe 100, which was/is not really a cate or a hotel. Phenomenal performance. Standing ovation.' Edit: You had Molly there with her guitar, you mentioned The Light Came In, and also Take the Journey, and didn't have her strum a few bars of each? Good grief.

@tomforsythe7024 5 лет назад

I am so sick of this nonsense about women "breaking barriers" in 2019. Maybelle Carter was one of the most influential guitarists in history. Alison Krauss has been immensely popular as both a vocalist and instrumentalist for 30 years. The same goes for Rhonda Vincent on mandolin. Sierra Hull, Sarah Jarosz, Alison Brown... The "barriers" are imaginary. If a woman is a brilliant musician, and does the work, she will get the same respect as a man.

@csmith5420 Год назад

As true as that may be, she was still the first female guitarist of the year by IBMA. So there may still be barriers.

@tomforsythe7024 Год назад

@@csmith5420 Lack of "representation" isn't the result of barriers, it's the result of lack of interest or ability in the group in question. There simply aren't very many girls interested enough in Bluegrass guitar to achieve that level of skill and notoriety. If you can name a female guitarist who should have beaten Bryan Sutton or Tony Rice, I would be thrilled to listen to her.

@robertvonbriesen908 2 года назад

@theduckett7698 5 лет назад

Saw Molly in person earlier this year. Was expecting songs like "White Freightliner" and other standards on you tube. Didn't happen. Didn't even have a banjo on stage. I understand her wanting to promote her CD and the songs on it but I paid to hear some of the old songs too. The fiddle player did most of the lead breaks which was disappointing. Actually the opening act Zoe and Clode was much more enjoyable.
