Molly Tuttle was on NPR's All Things Considered yesterday as part of the show's series on first-time Grammy Award nominees. Tuttle is nominated for two Grammy Awards: Best New Artist and, with her band Golden Highway, Best Bluegrass Album for their debut album, Crooked Tree. She talks about her life and music with All Things Considered host Ailsa Chang from the famed Station Inn in Nashville and performs the title track to the album. You can hear the interview and performance below.

Tuttle is in Los Angeles this weekend for the Grammys on Sunday and a number of related events before then. She performs at the MusiCares Persons of the Year tribute honoring Berry Gordy & Smokey Robinson at the Los Angeles Convention Center tonight and the Americanafest Pre-Grammy Salute to Lucinda Williams at The Troubadour on Saturday. You can watch the latter event streaming live via Mandolin.

Crooked Tree, recorded live at Nashville’s Oceanway Studios, was produced by Tuttle and Jerry Douglas and features collaborations with Sierra Hull, Old Crow Medicine Show, Margo Price, Billy Strings, Dan Tyminski, and Gillian Welch. Its thirteen tracks, all written or co-written by Tuttle, explore her lifelong love of bluegrass. "Molly Tuttle’s fingers move so quickly, she could pick your pocket without breaking stride," says the New York Times. You can hear it and get it here.
