The singer-songwriter genre is littered with confessions that cop to nothing, and sentiments that are self-serving and trite. It is a revelation when someone comes along and takes "folk music" back to it's origins, and steals it from the grips of the white-bread and whiny. Mollie Komins is one
of those rare performers for whom storytelling comes first. When you take these original, and (for lack of a better word) tender stories and place them within the framework of sweet finger-picked melodies, and one of the most astounding and original voices this side Karen Dalton, you will get the
picture pretty quickly. These are words and melodies that demand your attention. These are the songs you put on a CD for your parents who love Judee Sill, and Richard Thompson, for your girlfriend who loves Gillian Welch and Elliott Smith, and your friend who just had his heart broken.
Come out and see our show closest to you in the next 2 months, we have to record a new album by christmas. We are going throughthe A&R process and it is worth it as long as we record the album that we have everything written already. PeAcE-Kevin

maybe a week ago, i was laying on the floor on a sunday afternoon (in santa cruz) and stressing out about life in general. my roommate plopped down on the couch and we were talking and she's just goes "sorry, i gotta listen to this. it hasn't been working for awhile. it's this girl i heard play in phili and i fell in love with her music." so she put it on and i was stoked on it too. :-)
