Molly Tuttle has redefined what bluegrass can sound like — a Grammy-winning songwriter, virtuosic flatpicker, and fearless innovator who carries tradition forward with both reverence and fire. Raised in a musical Northern California family, she grew from a prodigious picker into one of the most influential guitarists of her generation, celebrated for her technical brilliance, warm vocal clarity, and songwriting that balances vulnerability with quiet power. With albums such as When You’re Ready, …but i’d rather be with you, and the dual Grammy-winning Crooked Tree + City of Gold with her band Golden Highway, Tuttle has become a leading voice in modern Americana — championing musical craft while bending rules with imagination and lightning-quick precision. She has also earned deep admiration across the jam and Deadhead worlds for her stunning interpretations of Grateful Dead material, including a luminous folk-grass take on Standing on the Moon. Onstage, she plays with joy and fearlessness, carving new acoustic pathways and inspiring a new generation of pickers to push further, play bolder, and dream bigger.
