Molly Tuttle and her band Golden Highway head to Colorado to perform music from their Nonesuch debut album, Crooked Tree, at Rhythms on the Rio Music Festival in Del Norte on Saturday, and at Bluebird Theater in Denver on Sunday.
Wide Open Country just named the title track to Crooked Tree to its list "The State of 21st Century Bluegrass in 10 Songs." “An elite vocalist, songwriter and guitarist, Molly Tuttle's a triple threat who's brilliance would've shone in any era since the 1960s folk revival,” says the site. “Yet her talents best suit our current situation: a time when the roots-bound yet otherwise undefinable concept of Americana allows her fenceless vision to flourish.”
