Molly Tutttle

This episode is brought to you by JamCut.IO (https://jamcut.io/). If you're a musician and you're tired of making clips all the time, check these guys out! Molly Tuttle joins Andy Frasco for a wide-ranging conversation about growing up in a bluegrass family, becoming one of the best guitar players of her generation, and finding her place in Nashville. Molly talks about losing her hair to alopecia as a child, dealing with social anxiety, and how music gave her a way to connect with people. She looks back on meeting Sierra Hull and other future bluegrass stars as a kid, moving to Nashville with no manager or booking agent, and eventually moving into a house with Billy Strings and his partner Ally, right across the street from Lindsay Lou. She also tells a hilarious story about taking an edible at a festival, unexpectedly getting asked to sit in with another artist, and having a full-blown panic attack onstage. Plus, Molly talks about winning IBMA Guitar Player of the Year, her Grammy success, songwriting with her partner Ketch Secor, the song "Crooked Tree," burnout in the music industry, and what she ultimately hopes people remember about her.
