Details:
A native to New Haven, CT, Molly currently divides her time between Austin TX and Guanajuato, Mexico. She loves Austin for the music, the people, and the energy but every once in a while itâs necessary to escape to the quite calm of a small town in Mexico to decompress. And of course, write music.

Molly comes from a musical family, and has been playing guitar and singing with her mother as long as she can remember. She started writing her own songs at 16. While a student at Williams College she took a winter study songwriting class that really inspired her to hone her skills. When she played on campus, even rambunctious college co-eds would become calmly mesmerized, hanging on her every lyric.

After college, freed from the distraction of academics and her three varsity sports, she pursued music seriously. She spent two years in the ski town of Ketchum ID where she recorded her self-titled debut album on Empty Beach Records. In 2004 she relocated to Austin and, between
jobs and gigs, worked on her second album Love Me Like You Mean It, released in October of 2006.

Molly composes in a wide range of styles drawing from folk, soul, alternative rock, and a bit of country. She is one of those viscerally compelling vocalists that come along only once in a while; it only takes one song, one listen to know that she is the real thing.

Molly considers herself first and foremost asongwriter. "I've been so inspired by the other artists here in Austin, and I really just want to keep writing better and better songs. If the goal is to make people feel something â to inspire them to tell their own story â I think I already get to do that. I try to remind myself that everything else resulting from my attempt at carving out a living through music is just icing."
