MOLLY TUTTLE DEBUTS NEW PERFORMANCE VIDEO FOR “SAN FRANCISCO BLUES”
S
inger, songwriter and guitar player Molly Tuttle unveils a new performance video for her song, “San Francisco Blues,” today featuring her band, Golden Highway. Watch/share HERE. The video was filmed during Tuttle’s sold-out release show at Nashville’s legendary Station Inn this past spring, celebrating her acclaimed new album, Crooked Tree.
Out now via Nonesuch Records (Tuttle’s first release on the label, stream/purchase here), Crooked Tree explores Tuttle’s love of bluegrass, which she discovered through her father and her grandfather, a banjo player. Recorded live at Nashville’s Oceanway Studios, the record was produced by Tuttle and Jerry Douglas and features collaborations with Sierra Hull, Old Crow Medicine Show, Margo Price, Billy Strin gs, Dan Tyminski and Gillian Welch.
Tuttle and Golden Highway, were recently featured on CBS Saturday Morning as part of their “Saturday Sessions” series, performing three songs from the album: “She’ll Change,” “Over the Line” and “Crooked Tree.” Tuttle was also the subject of a PBS NewsHour profile last month. Watch HERE.
Known for their electric performances, Tuttle and Golden Highway—Bronwyn Keith-Hynes (fiddle), Dominick Leslie(mandolin), Shelby Means (bass) and Kyle Tuttle (banjo)—will tour throughout this fall including several major festivals such as Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion, Bourbon & Beyond, AmericanaFest, and Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival. See below for complete itinerary.
“I always knew I wanted to make a bluegrass record someday,” says Tuttle. “Once I started writing, everything flowed so easily: sometimes I’ve felt an internal pressure to come up with a sound no one’s heard before, but this time my intention was just to make an album that reflected the music that’s been passed down through generations in my family. I found a way to do that while writing songs that feel true to who I am, and it really helped me to grow as a songwriter.”
In addition to Tuttle (vocals, guitars), Douglas (dobro), Keith-Hynes (fiddle), and Leslie (mandolin), Crooked Tree also features musicians Darol Anger (fiddle), Ron Block (banjo), Mike Bub (upright bass), Jason Carter (fiddle), Viktor Krauss (upright bass), Todd Phillips (upright bass), and Christian Sedelmyer (fiddle) with additional harmony vocals from Tina Adair, Lindsay Lou, and Melody Walker.
