Red Molly is a female trio combining the talents of Laurie MacAllister, Abbie Gardner and Carolann Solebello.  Weaving their voices in harmony over a myriad of strings (guitar, banjo, mandolin and dobro), Red Molly's repertoire includes carefully-selected material, ranging from Appalachian ballads to 20th-century pop/country standards and contemporary folk. Resting on the belief that great songs shine with minimal handling, Red Molly digs down to the root of a song with simple, uncluttered arrangements, leaving plenty of room for three voices to carry it skyward.

Red Molly was formed at Falcon Ridge Folk Festival in July 2004, at an impromptu late night jam session. None of the members were looking for a band, but the sound was there and too good to resist.  Our first gig was in December of 2004 and our first recording was released in April 2005.  Red Molly has been gigging non-stop ever since at places like Outpost in the Burbs (Montclair, NJ), Club Passim (Cambridge, MA), Makor (NY, NY), The Minstrel Coffeehouse (NJ), and Musikfest (Bethlehem, PA).
