Molly Tuttle

A virtuosic, award-winning guitarist and vocalist with a gift for insightful songwriting. Already crowned “Instrumentalist of the Year” at the 2018 Americana Music Awards she’s also just taken home her second trophy for the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Guitar Player of the Year (the first woman in the history of the IBMA to win that honor). Tuttle has broken
boundaries and garnered the respect of her peers, winning fans for her incredible flatpicking guitar technique and confessional songwriting. Graced with a clear, true voice and a keen melodic sense, the 26-year-old seems poised for a long and exciting career. Her debut album, When You’re Ready, produced by Ryan Hewitt (The Avett Brothers, The Lumineers) showcases her astonishing range and versatility and shows that she is more than simply an Americana artist. Since moving to Nashville in 2015, the native Californian has been welcomed into folk music, bluegrass, Americana, and traditional country communities – even as When You’re Ready stretches the boundaries of those genres.

“…handsomely crafted melodies that gently insinuate themselves into the memory…” – NPR

“Tuttle effortlessly delivers a mélange of styles to accompany her powerful guitar licks throughout.” – Rolling Stone

“The result is an album that’s bigger, brighter and more expressive than her past work while still leaving room to appreciate the incredible individual talent at the
core of these songs.” – PASTE

“…delightfully dissonant combination of sweet singing and monster-shredder guitar playing…” – EXCLAIM

“Impressive debut album…. The production, playing and songwriting coalesce into a striking statement that shows an already developed artist well on her way to the next level of her still nascent career.” – AMERICAN SONGWRITER

“ When You’re Ready proves that Tuttle is a true crossover artist with unbridled ability.” – GUITAR PLAYER

“…a sort of high-wattage Alison Krauss-Taylor Swift hybrid — Tuttle effortlessly delivers a mélange of styles to accompany her powerful guitar licks throughout.” – Rolling Stone

The Sassafras Sisters

The Sassafras Sisters are a group of three teenagers from Olympia, WA who play and sing old time, honky tonk, country, and some indie music, often in three part harmonies. Their names are Ruby (15), Annie (14), and Ellie (16) and their usual arrangement is a bass, guitar, and fiddle. Ruby, Annie, and Ellie have been playing together since they were young kids, and love exploring old Appalachian music as well as bringing in new current day music and incorporating both into their repertoire.
