Singing spine-tingling high notes, Abbie Gardner is an improviser from a musical family. A consummate performer, her songs and performance have the punch of rhythm and blues. Playing guitar and tambourine, Laurie MacAllister draws inspiration from classic folk and singer-songwriters. Her voice stretches octaves, warm and romantic one moment, playful and subversive the next. Molly Venter has a smoky voice that is unforgettable, and a moody approach to song-smithing. Quirky and fashion-forward, she moves in step to the music while playing guitar and tambourine. Upright bassist Craig Akin and percussionist and electric guitarist Eben Pariser fill out the sound, giving the show a broad range of musical options—from complex and hard-hitting to sparse and delicate. They remain a dominant force on the Americana/Folk scene due in part to their laughter and spontaneity onstage. Red Molly is simply a joy to experience.

Before the performance starts, there will be a Q&A with the band as we record an episode of Hangin’ & Sangin’, A podcast and radio show hosted by music journalist Kelly McCartney, Hangin’ & Sangin’ offers up casual conversation and acoustic performances by some of your favorite roots artists, from Americana to folk, country, blues, bluegrass, Southern soul, and rock & roll.

Come at 8 pm for an intimate interview that promises to give you a deeper look at both the humanity and artistry of this week’s guest. The performance will start immediately following.
