The all female trio Red Molly can be found throughout Connecticut playing a mix of Appalachian ballads, bluegrass, gospel and Jazz that guitarist Carolann Solebello says is high in fiber and rich in diversity. “We do a nice big salad of different songs," she says.
Scheduled for release soon is their forthcoming CD entitled, “Love and Other Tragedies." The same music mix as the previous CD but with more original material. Abbie Gardner, who plays a stringed instrument called a Dobro or resophonic guitar, is credited with most of the original material on “Never Been to Vegas," while Ms. Solebello admits that she and banjo and guitar player Laurie MacAllister have gotten away from songwriting in the last few years.
So what changed their tune? “There was something missing - both of us felt the need to have something to say," said Ms. Solebello. Starting slowly with one song on the new CD, she's proud of her bluegrass piece, “Summertime."
From a personal experience, she thinks the bluegrass roots of it make it twice as nice. “I'm pretty psyched," she says, “because it's a genre that I was introduced to not too long ago and I've been able to write something in it."
