GET TO KNOW MOLLY TUTTLE.
Molly Tuttle brings an accomplished guitarist’s touch to songs that reach beyond instrumental display. Her work moves between bluegrass ensemble playing and singer-songwriter material, with Golden Highway providing the setting for Crooked Tree and City of Gold. The first woman to win the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Guitar Player of the Year award, Tuttle combines that technical distinction with a storytelling voice interested in unusual characters, changing landscapes, and personal perspective.
Flatpicking speed is only one part of Tuttle’s sound. Listen for the balance of precise attack, melodic clarity, and vocals that remain central even during intricate acoustic passages; her arrangements can be fleet and exuberant without losing the shape of a song.
ALBUMS & RELEASES.
Crooked Tree
The first Golden Highway album and a Grammy-winning bluegrass collection.
City of Gold
Continues the ensemble work with Douglas as co-producer.
PAST TOURS & LIVE ROOTS.
The Golden Highway years included extensive touring around Crooked Tree and City of Gold. The Down the Rabbit Hole Tour in 2024 followed the group’s second consecutive Grammy win for Best Bluegrass Album, while an Austin City Limits appearance documented both records on stage.
COLLABORATIONS & CONNECTIONS.
Jerry Douglas co-produced Crooked Tree and City of Gold with Tuttle. Golden Highway gave those albums a tightly developed ensemble identity, and the guest relationships across her work show bluegrass as a setting for songwriting exchange rather than a closed stylistic boundary.
