Crazy-Good
by Ralph on 6/30/22Birchmere - AlexandriaI've seen Molly Tuttle five times in four years. She gets better each time I see her.I saw her in 9/21 in Boulder, and I saw her 6/27/22 at The Birchmere. She got better during the interim by magnitudes -- 10 times better. This show was in my top 3 of 40 years of going to the Birchmere. My fave Bluegrass show ever (I've seen Doc Watson, Seldom Scene). Golden Highway + Molly were playing for their own enjoyment. It is rare to witness this and it was special. Bronwyn was great on fiddle. The boys were great on banjo and mando. But Shelby Means on bass was the secret sauce -- locking in the team on rhythm and driving them forward. Just an astonishing display of collective individual talent. Great tune list, especially covers of Townes Van Zandt and Rancid.
