"Red Molly is a powerhouse NY trio that pulls out all the stops for their energizing stage performances. Laurie's clear, sensual voice shines through. Carolann's connection to the beat allows the band to run. Abbie wields the velvet hammer in the form of her Dobro. Red Molly's connection to the audience is intimate and strong."
J. Spica, Host, "Thin Air", WVKR FM (Poughkeepsie, NY)

In the wee small hours of a summer night, a group of singer-songwriter friends gathered to share their latest tunes at a hilltop campsite at the 2004 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. The song circle grew smaller as, one by one, sleepy campers drifted off to their tents, leaving only Laurie MacAllister, Abbie Gardner, and Carolann Solebello in the citronella-scented candlelight. Not yet ready to call it a night, these women, who had long admired each other's solo work, began sharing favorite songs by other songwriters. Before long, Laurie, Abbie and Carolann were singing their fellow campers off to sleep in three-part harmony on songs by contemporary writers like Gillian Welch and Iris DeMent, bluegrass standards, old-time southern gospel, and classic American tunes. And before the sun rose on Hillsdale, NY, Red Molly was born.

In the two plus years since that pivotal night, Red Molly has performed at a number of excellent venues in the northeast and is steadily garnering a devoted regional fan base. They have opened shows for artists such as Aztec Two-Step, Catie Curtis, Jonathan Edwards, Jeffrey Gaines, John Hammond, Johnsmith, Michael Smith, Bill Staines and David Wilcox. In a particularly satisfying turn, Red Molly was selected to perform in the 2006 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Emerging Artist Showcase. Even more exciting, Red Molly earned the highest number of audience votes, and will therefore appear at Falcon Ridge 2007!
