Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway have announced their “Down the Rabbit Hole” headlining tour in support of their Grammy-winning and critically acclaimed new album, City of Gold. The US spring and summer dates begin at Center Stage in Atlanta on April 18 and run through the end of June with stops in Memphis, Milwaukee, Detroit, Houston, Phoenix, Omaha, St. Louis, and more. The newly confirmed dates follow the band’s appearance at Big Ears Festival in Knoxville next month, and coincide with stops at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and Telluride Bluegrass Festival as well as a performance in support of Old Crow Medicine Show in Alabama. A complete list of dates may be found below and at nonesuch.com/on-tour.
Earlier this month, Tuttle and the band—fiddler Bronwyn Keith-Hynes, mandolinist Dominick Leslie, bass player Shelby Means, and banjo player Kyle Tuttle—earned their second consecutive GRAMMY win for Best Bluegrass Abum for City of Gold, released last year on Nonesuch Records. The critically acclaimed album made year’s best lists from PopMatters, Folk Alley, No Depression, AllMusic, WFUV, and Holler, which calls it her “most captivating record yet … A heady 48 minutes of joy, Tuttle is single handedly making bluegrass her own.”
City of Gold follows Tuttle’s highly praised 2022 record, Crooked Tree, which won Best Bluegrass Album at the 65th Annual GRAMMY Awards. Once again produced by Tuttle and Jerry Douglas and recorded at Nashville’s Sound Emporium Studios, City of Gold was inspired by Tuttle’s constant touring with Golden Highway these past few years, as they have grown together as musicians and performers. Written by Tuttle and Ketch Secor (Old Crow Medicine Show), these thirteen tracks capture the electric energy of band’s live shows by highlighting each members’ musical strengths.
Raised in Northern California, Tuttle moved to Nashville in 2015. In the years since, she has continued to receive widespread accolades. In addition to the two GRAMMY awards, she earned three wins at the 2023 IBMA Bluegrass Music Awards. Additionally, Tuttle also won Album of the Year at the 2023 International Folk Music Awards, 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 Sam Bush, Béla Fleck, Hiss Golden Messenger, Jason Isbell, Old Crow Medicine Show, and Dwight Yoakam, as well as at several major festivals including Newport Folk Festival and Pilgrimage.
