A virtuoso guitarist with a galvanizing charm that electrifies her audience” —Guardian
Raised in Northern California, Molly Tuttle moved to Nashville in 2015. In the years since, she has received many accolades, including two GRAMMY wins plus a nomination for Best New Artist. She earned three wins at the 2023 IBMA Bluegrass Music Awards and won Album of the Year at the 2023 International Folk Music Awards. Additionally, she has earned Instrumentalist of the Year at the 2018 Americana Music Awards, and Guitar Player of the Year at the IBMAs in both 2017 and 2018. Tuttle has performed around the world, including shows with Billy Strings, Dierks Bentley, Dave Matthews, Béla Fleck, Tommy Emmanuel, Hiss Golden Messenger, Jason Isbell, Old Crow Medicine Show, and Dwight Yoakam, as well as at several major festivals including Newport Folk and Pilgrimage. She is featured on Ringo Starr’s acclaimed 2025 album Look Up and joined his band for performances of the music at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium in January. She also performed the Tom Petty classic “American Girl” with Dierks Bentley on the Country Music Association Awards in late 2024.
In 2023 and 2024, Tuttle earned consecutive GRAMMY and IBMA wins for Best Bluegrass Album/Album of the Year for her Nonesuch records Crooked Tree and City of Gold. She and her band were nominated for eight IBMA Bluegrass Music Awards..
Nonesuch released the six-song EP Into the Wild in the fall of 2024. The EP included three new songs — the title track, “Getaway Girl,” and a cover of Kate Wolf’s “Here in California”—as well as previously released covers of Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit” and Olivia Rodrigo’s “good 4 u” and an alternate version of the City of Gold track “Stranger Things.”
Tuttle says of the record: “With this new EP we invite you to come on a journey with us Into the Wild. I wrote the title track with Ketch Secor after a week spent in the redwoods. This song is about getting lost in the wilderness even if it’s just in the forest of your mind. ‘Getaway Girl’ was an unfinished song I had started writing for City of Gold. It’s about a whirlwind romance set in New York City, kind of like Carrie Bradshaw meets bluegrass.
“In addition to these two new original songs, we included some of our favorite covers that we’ve woven into the live show, ‘White Rabbit’ by Jefferson Airplane and ‘good 4 u’ by Olivia Rodrigo," she continues. “We paid tribute to one of my favorite California songwriters, Kate Wolf, with a new version of her song ‘Here in California’ that features my dad, Jack Tuttle, and longtime friend AJ Lee singing with me. I used to play this one with my family band back in the day! On ‘Stranger Things’ (Down the Rabbit Hole Version) I wanted to go for a stripped back ethereal version of this song originally played by the full band on City of Gold.”
Molly Tuttle is currently working on her next album, which will be announced later this year. #mollytuttle #theramkat #wsnc #supportlivemusic
