I'm excited to announce that I will be performing at the 2019 Northwest Folklife Festival at Seattle Center! I'll be part of a showcase called "Enchanting Strings", and they've partnered me (coincidentally) with my dear friend, autoharp maven and frequent collaborator Cathy Britell!

Performance details:

Monday, May 27th, 11:40am-12:10pm

Folklife Underground Cafe

(a new venue, located directly South of the Cornish Playhouse Theatre. My communication from NW Folklife advises me to keep in mind that Key Arena redevelopment has made substantial changes to Seattle Center grounds. This construction has affected this year’s Northwest Folklife Festival layout, as they had to remove and rearrange several venues.) 

My solo set starts at 11:40, but if you come early you can catch Cathy's set at 11:00am too! 'Harps galore!

Hope to see you there,

Molly

Yes, it's true, I'll be playing again at the Harp Tent at the 2018 Skagit Valley Highland Games! Same bat time, same bat channel...1:05 pm on Saturday, July 14th. (I think this time the bagpipe demo doesn't start until 1:30, but WE'LL BE READY FOR THEM.) Come on down, hear some music, watch some sheepdogs doing their thing, watch burly dudes in kilts throw things! Fun times. (For more info on the Games--like, you know, where they are, etc.--visit www.celticarts.org.)

 

Another golden oldie...my lovely harp at the Skagit Valley Highland Games in 2016! (This seems like a good time to mention I’ll be playing at the SVHG again this year! 1:05pm July 14.) #harp #skagitvalleyhighlandgames

Hi folks,

It's a lovely drizzly Seattle day, and I'm ensconced on the couch with a bottomless cup of tea and some toasted Amarelo Bread (hey, what is a blog good for if you can't shamelessly promote your friends from time to time?). In search of a productive task that doesn't involve actually getting up, I finally updated my album page to allow direct sales of both the physical Maid on the Shore CD and the album download. (You can still purchase the album from your favorite online merchants as well: Bandcamp, iTunes, Amazon, CD Baby).

One extra perk: if you buy the CD directly from me, I can autograph it for you before sending it out! Sweet!

Cheers,

Molly

I'm thrilled to have been invited to open for Peter and Caleb Spencer at Egan's Ballard Jam House on May 12th, 2018! I'll be playing a 25-minute set starting at 9pm. Peter Spencer is a longtime colleague of mine and a fantastic singer/songwriter/guitarist. Come on down and check it out!

(I'm not sure how much the cover is going to be...$10-12 or so, probably?) 

I didn't realize it had been so long since I'd posted--my apologies! It's all been pretty quiet around here for the last few months.

However, I realized a few weeks ago that the great Tom Lehrer (mathematician, pianist, satirical genius, sometimes credited with inventing the Jell-O shot) was turning 90 years old (yesterday, in fact). 90! So, I decided I really needed to honor his birthday by singing my favorite Tom Lehrer song. (I’m sure Tom would have something wonderfully, bitingly sarcastic to say about my performance, to say nothing of my video editing skills.)
