Interview: Molly Tuttle

Molly Tuttle has received much acclaim for her guitar chops, including winning the International Bluegrass Music Award's Guitar Player of the Year twice, and also the Americana Music Association’s Instrumentalist of the Year award. Her fretwork, singing, and songwriting was also recognized with two Grammy Awards for Best Bluegrass Album with her previous band Golden Highway. In addition to being a superstar of the bluegrass genre, Tuttle's wonderful new album So Long Little Miss Sunshine shows that she can also bring engaging pop sensibilities to her music without compromising her virtuosity. In fact, her guitar playing on the album is arguably even more prominent than on her previous recordings. This interview was for a preview article for Noozhawk.com for Molly Tuttle's concert at the Arlington Theatre in Santa Barbara on December 7, 2025. It was done by phone on November 19, 2025.
