This ensemble’s versatility allows them to pack stripped-down vocal ballads, jazzy swing numbers, and bluegrass-infused pop songs into the same set, all featuring what the Boston Globe calls “tick-tight arrangements” and “caramel harmonies.”
- The band’s 2011 release, Light in the Sky, features cover songs of legends like Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, as well as original tracks that embrace Celtic ballads, ragtime flair, and honky tonk harmonies.
- Red Molly has released 4 studio albums. Their 2010 release, James, reached No. 4 on the Americana Top 40 chart.
- A jingle by Laurie MacAllister is featured on a 2010 Folgers Coffee commercial, Abbie Gardner’s song “Break it Slow” will be featured in a pilot for A&E series Fishmongers, and Molly Venter’s solo album Love Me Like You Mean It was featured on Barnes & Noble listening stations.
- “This trio melds their voices seamlessly to create harmonies that evoke the feel of the original Grand Ole Opry one moment and something akin to the swingy feel of the Andrews Sisters the next.”—Bluegrass Unlimited
- The rich musical textures and foot-stompin’ energy of their bluegrass tunes have made The Steel Wheels one of the brightest stars in independent Americana music.
