What a privilege it would have been to be there.

MOLLY's SMILE is MAGIC

[@kevinglass4536]

Her voice and playing is GOLDEN

[@DavesCoverSongs]

She’s one of those musicians that makes you stop whatever you’re doing and listen when she starts to play or sing.

[@hopfuser]

Simply yes

[@brokebackbasement]

she kicks some ass

[@watzinaname7325]

Yep...i didn't realize i was doing just that... till i saw your comment..she takes you away...

[@JusBidniss]

Everyone rightly recognizes Molly's incredible picking ability, but her voice is also phenomenal! You think it's going to go to a feathery, whispery place, then peeking out from behind is this strong, resonant roundness that makes itself known. Very pleasing combination! Beautiful playing, beautiful singing, beautiful lady!

[@freedapeeple4049]

Someone on another chan comment said she sounded a lot like Emmylou Harris. At first I didn't hear it, but she actually does. Very, very talented woman.

[@sadie376]

Yes. I started watching her for the guitar techniques & stayed for the voice...

[@roberthoward6590]

The clarity of her words is wonderful as well as her pleasant tone quality.

[@noiseintheoffice]

I second that.

[@stuff8605]

Yeah, found her just looking for guitar flatpicking vids, then watched more of her stuff and figured out she is national treasure. That voice AND the guitar skills. Going to see her end of August. She is ridiculously talented.

[@terrymalone1456]

Wow just found her today, I here some Tony Rice and maybe a bit of Clarence White in her picking, she is Great!

[@ericmichel314]

Molly Tuttle is a pure jewel. The more I listen to her and the more I love her. Her smile, her amazing guitar playing and her pure voice is a treasure. It's a long time that I didn't felt such an emotion listening an artist. Molly, thank you to exist. Greetings from Marseille, France.

[@tjlund1000]

@RosemollyTuttlegmail I am attending your concert with Tommy Emmanuel in St Albans on the 25th of January. Huge greetings from Norway.

[@michaelgarrison1]

The best right hand in the business. Nobody flat picks like Molly Tuttle. Then you add that voice, those tunes, and that look; she's the whole package.

[@redlinemando]

This girl is what Tony Rice once was to the guitar. Nothing mechanical sounding about her. Just raw talent & pure soul!!!! The torch has been passed & this girl is the future of acoustic music. All you autotuned wannabe's take note!! Finally, the real deal has come along!!!!!!! All those who miss the heart & soul of the mid 80's Tony Rice. Well...………..Here it is in the form of a seemingly frail woman. A woman who has the MASTER control of her guitar as well as her voice. I've been years looking for an artist with the "real deal" talent that Tony Rice used to share with his audiences. I've finally found it!!!!!!! This gal is now my favorite artist of the modern day acoustic world!!!!!!! Thank You Molly for sharing your talent with us!!!!!!!

[@guitarman1477]

jdcrowe82 try billy strings, I think you’ll agree he’s even Better than Tony rice

[@redlinemando]

@@guitarman1477 I've heard a lot from Billy Strings. He's great, but I'm afraid I can't agree with you completely. I greatly admire Billy for his obvious talent, but he lacks the ability to convey the deeper, more complex emotions. It's a very special ability that is lacking in most of today's music & across all genres as well. While Billy may have more musical scale knowledge & more technical speed & ability than Molly, he will never be able to hold the audience in the palm of his hand purely on vocal performance alone. He has to learn how to "let go" emotionally when he is performing. He even lacks some of this ability in his guitar playing. It's all about the dynamics. Speed & technical ability doesn't mean much if you can't make the audience "FEEL" what your playing. He's still young yet & has plenty of time to grow some more musically. He will no doubt, develop this ability over time, but for now, this keeps him off of my top 5. This ability was something that I've seen Tony Rice demonstrate time & time again. He could do it with just his guitar & he could also do it with just his voice. Molly shares this same unique ability. Trey Hensley also shares that same ability although, he is not as well known. Listen to the old Jim Croce recordings of just his voice & two guitars. Jim was a really good example of someone who possessed this same ability.

[@guitarman1477]

I kind of agree with you about billy strings, he hasn’t the experience of tony rice, Brian Sutton, but, time will tell. Molly Tuttle is a revelation

[@redlinemando]

@@guitarman1477 Yeah man, Billy will definitely grow into his own over time. He's still doing some musical "soul searching" for his niche. Molly has found her Niche & all that's left for her to do is nourish it & give it plenty of room to grow.

[@JusBidniss]

I love Joe's fully-invested playing face. Vacant expression, a bit slack-jawed, unexpected smiling, serious focused intent staring, head bobbing and wagging. You can tell he's looking at _something_ beyond what his eyes are seeing -- perhaps a cartoon landscape of tangible musical tones, joyously weaving their way through the _idea_ of the mandolin. Then an unexpected bit of improvisation pops up from one of his partners, his focus snaps back to them, a quick inside-joke smile and chuckle, then back to the dream. What fun!

[@ahoward3819]

Exactly!! Very well said!

[@bobfreephotography]

Well put. I was seeing the same but couldn't characterize it nearly as well

[@maywednesday]

Thanks for sharing this. I was tear up for watch this for some reasons. I felt so nostalgic and happiness. I’m back in country music and bluegrass music. It is what somehow there were always in my most bottom of my heart from the first time even though I’m Japanese. I can feel again how so nostalgic, longing, lonesome, and happy feelings of it. I can see a vast fields of my longing American old good time. Yes. It’s my basic of my heart. I’m finally get back to my basic though I spent many time of my life for get back it. I will never leave it again.

[@TyeeHox]

Amanda, I feel just like you do and I teared up many times. I have been away from bluegrass music for many years and I really missed it. I just played a big festival for the first time in 15 years and it felt so good. I met a woman from Japan in Washington State U.S.,who was a real good guitar player and bluegrass singer. You reminded me of her. Enjoy bluegrass music, you have good feelings for it.

[@maywednesday]

@@TyeeHox Thank you for your heartwarming replying. I have been passing through many genre of music such as country, bluegrass, blues, jazz, or celt music, rock, and even classic. But now I realized that after all my most loving genre of music was a music what I have met at the first time. Yeah, as a matter of fact, I had known what the most I love music is from the first. May your and my music journey goes with happiness from now on.

[@tobypuente8841]

i giggle/cringe when i hear Molly is the newcomer, the latest thing, the rookie...this woman has worked so long, and dedicated to so many angles of music...the songwriting, the singing, the different styles of playing guitar, the other instruments, the travel...we're lucky in the bay area to be near her home, and allowing us more chances to hear and admire her work since she was a teeneager..keep on truckin, Molly...hear ya soon

[@John-wr6yo]

So many years ago as a child saved and saved up for a martin d28 guitar I think i read an article about her in acoustic guitar magazine and it showed a picture of her sitting on her bed with her new guitar

[@maldonadoimmigrationservic9372]

Love it. Was having a crappy day . . .and then I saw this video, and all is well.

[@dantoddp1]

Her talent would light up the darkest of nights, some just glow with talent!

[@jono2233]

yup - she's the royal, queen of geetar pickin!

[@perihelion7798]

The recording and mixing of this unamplified session is excellent. The music was awesome.

[@redlinemando]

It really is a perfect setup for musicians who know what they are doing & pay attention to each other.

[@MarttiSuomivuori]

The amount of musical talent on the stage is exceptional. I never liked bluegrass. Never mind, This music has no labels. This is good. Call it what you like, I call it Good Music.

[@christopherpickup3076]

Sometimes in this groundhog day of a life, you wander upon pure joy and perfection. Tuttle and Co - I thank you.

[@alexquiroz9945]

I think Joe Walsh is such an underrated artist. Se is so very talented and so many people out there just don't know about him. he plays and sings so well. He is also so fun to watch live. engaging, charismatic, and passionate about his performance

[@wadefite]

She is some talent and a wee stunner.

[@muazzammarzook7708]

Excellent Singing and playing!! She is Strumming Not picking!!

[@alexquiroz9945]

jeez.. what a perfect trio. can listen to this over and over again

[@TheWindGinProject]

Good Enough! BRAVO

[@jbb6029]

this trio works like hell, I need more

[@teddyhenry6244]

listen to that sound she plays Big Guitar Sound and Plays it right! Sings like a songbird writing her own songs even better! I really Like Molly Tuttle!!

[@spicycurry1190]

It's great to see Matthew Perry here. What a pleasant surprise!!

[@TIO540S1]

Wish I’d been there❤️ Fireflies (or lightning bugs). I grew up in Illinois, live in California now. We caught them in jars every summer. I hadn’t thought of them in a long time. Beautiful metaphor, beautiful song. A month ago I’d not heard of Molly Tuttle. I saw a video of her with Tommy Emmanuel, a legendary guitarist I’ve followed for a long time and seen many times. Since I saw that video, I can’t get enough of her.

[@stevecook5930]

Beautiful smile and beautiful music.

[@eazacl]

Molly is the best guitarist around in the world today.

[@CapSuperM]

Your heart talking and not your brain 😀

[@michaelhoard7024]

I love this trio. Perfect blend of voices and instruments!

[@paulkossak7761]

The new crop of bluegrass, folk, and traditional Americana musicians are astounding. Molly of course, but also Sierra Hull and Billy Strings, are fantastic players, singers and songwriters.

[@gregatkinson5929]

Just Beautiful

[@thomdushane]

'Big dreams and a worn out d-18'. That's a great line

[@photoguy1957]

What an enjoyable 27 minutes! Molly just makes me happy! Her smile is infectious and of course her playing is mesmerizing!

[@craigjohnsen1081]

I was introduced to her captivating talent at the billy strings 10/31/23 show ... You missy, have the it ... Keep on keeping on

[@jaroslavsykora5607]

Yes!

[@alexmorris452]

I’m glad I was told about these sessions ,,,,brightened up a boring Tuesday night ,,,thankyou

[@KilianSchindler]

Just love the athmosphere here so much. Genuine musical communion between individually brilliant musicians, who are fully in tune with each other.

[@NoWayOut55]

I guess I need to get out more! Very Nice!!

[@uggligr]

A "total band" show. All star performance.

[@mitzioden4926]

Such a good group! More talent than you could imagine! They all played and sang very well.

[@dukeofearl4117]

Molly is my favorite folk singer. Thanks Molly for sharing your talents with us.

[@lewisjakecrompton4459]

Help, I can't stop watching this! haha i listen to it daily and i find i just enjoy it more. when I'm not watching i hum the Fiddler of Dooney and Take the Journey. I would have loved to have been here...

[@AlbrechtHMaas]

I'd like to repeat, what another man wrote about Molly: she plays like a devil und sings like an angel! That's so true . . .

[@Hasselblad9999]

Molly is truly an incredible artist. With the voice of an angel, and playing abilities to match. Add to that her natural beauty, a look that takes your breath away.

[@paulmiller184]

Molly is sure more than good enough to have my time listening .

[@musicamex]

Best to come along since Allison Krause. Molly is a gift to us all

[@TheJazz61]

Beautiful instruments nicely played

[@robertfox7969]

I have to say that this concert compelled me to go out and buy albums from both John Mailander and Joe K. Walsh. PHENOMENAL MUSICIANS. I mean REALLY some of the best listening ever! Combine these two young men with Molly's awesome voice and world class picking and you can see why I keep coming back to this concert nearly 3 years later! If there is a level BEYOND professional then these three have arrived there.

[@roberthoward6590]

I love the joy and respect that these musicians show for each other.

[@aka4146]

I I'm mesmerized by her right hand she is an awesome talent.(help me molly I want to do that)

[@chewymoviereviews4970]

As soon as i heard Lightning in a jar I knew she will be one of the greatest. Hopefully even more fame heads her way.

[@stephengilbert5612]

I love the joy on Molly,s face . Nice intermate gig ,wish i was there .

[@harmenopoulos]

What a trio! They are equally ashonishing perfectly playing!

[@ahoward3819]

She and Alison Krause are my favorite artists. Similar sound but so very different too! Molly’s picking is so effortless I love to watch her play and her voice is just a beautiful bonus!

[@swampydouglasobannon8804]

Every time I hear Molly play I look down and my foot is tapping to beat all hell.I'm a Molly Tuttle fan.😜

Molly is so special, she is so humble and seems fragile but so strong. Lady you have a fan for life ❤️

[@stephanmichaels7215]

Never was a big fan of country, bur now I'm a Molly Tuttle devotee. Her voice is as emotive as her playing. The sound is just amazing. Would love to know how this was mic'd so that the instruments have such warmth and presence without being amplified. That is one gorgeous sounding Martin.

[@StephenSchauer]

Hi Stephan, it’s micd with 2 Beyerdynamic MC834’s directly into a tascam HS-p82. The guitar is a Preston Thompson guitar, made in Sisters, OR. I believe Mr. Thompson passed away not long ago.

[@bertshutler5973]

just wow

[@digitalsketchguy]

Awesome guitarist, and also writes her own songs & sings like a Lark. That's talent!

[@noiricha]

It sounded outstanding and she knew it cause she couldn`t stop smiling and what a smile.

[@danw1955]

A-maz-ing!!! What a sweet performance! I've been following Molly since the early days with her family band, and it's incredible to see how far she has progressed as a musician, songwriter, and entertainer over the last few years! Her self-confidence has grown immensely, and that beautiful smile is a joy to see, since you *know* she loves what she is doing! 😍😁👍👍

[@StephenSchauer]

Scott Johnston Thank you, Scott. It helps that the performers were not only amazing, but they’re playing really special instruments!

[@barrydouglas6276]

@@StephenSchauer Not many engineers would have the confidence to use a spaced pair for an acoustic trio where everybody sings at some point. You, however, placed great trust in them controlling the dynamics of their performance. They delivered, and then some! Whilst the result was exceptionally good I suspect this may have been one of your easier gigs;)

[@StephenSchauer]

@@barrydouglas6276 Thanks for your comment! This was actually the last show from that series that I spaced. There were a couple of tunes that showed the limits of the ORTF. Lesson learned! Check out the Richie and Rosie concert, as it's got the pair as close as possible.

@@StephenSchauer We could bore the fine people of KZbin with almost endless discussions regarding recording options. Both this and the subsequent link you provided are extremely well recorded acoustic performances. I really hope that no-one (yourself included) read my comment as implying poor recording technique but rather that the performers have to understand how they will sound in a recording. IMO your skills recording acoustic performers are absolutely top notch. Keep up the good work, we will enjoy it ;)

Molly won guitar player of the year for the second year in a row. The last tune shows why. She doesn't let her playing take away from her haunting vocal in "Lightning in a jar" but the instrumental piece lets her show her effortless speed and virtuosity.
