On a July evening in 2004, at their campsite at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, Laurie MacAllister, Abbie Gardner and Carolann Solebello harmonized for the very first time. As they sang their campmates off to sleep, they knew they had stumbled into something extraordinary. Audiences seem to agree. Since that summer night, Red Molly has garnered a devoted regional fan base, and has begun laying the groundwork for national touring. These ladies have a lot of fun on stage, and it’s contagious. Red Molly consistently brings concert-goers to their feet with stunning three-part harmonies, crisp musicianship, and a warm, engaging stage presence.
In July 2006, Red Molly’s first full-length CD, Never Been to Vegas (2006), was released. Recorded on a December evening before a studio audience of fans and friends, Never Been to Vegas is a collection of fourteen carefully-chosen songs that span more than a century of great American songwriting. Never Been to Vegas quickly climbed into the Top 30 on the Radio & Records Americana chart, a rare accomplishment for an independent album. And listeners of WUMB radio Boston voted the CD one of the Top 10 CDs of 2006.
Red Molly's newest release, Love and Other Tragedies (2008), is their first full-length studio album. Produced by Ben Wisch, it finds the women of Red Molly adding a little spice to their winning recipe. The new album features a fuller, more “polished” sound than their previous releases, due in part to the contributions of guest artists Mike Weatherly (upright bass), Duke Levine (mandola, lap steel), and Jake Armerding (fiddle). In addition, the ladies incorporated more original songs into the mix this time. Songs written by Laurie, Abbie, and Carolann mingle admirably with songs by well-known contemporary writers Gillian Welch and Susan Werner, up-and-coming artists Amy Speace and George Wirth, traditional American gospel tunes, and standards from the bluegrass and jazz worlds.

Fiddlers Flea Market Needs bands to help promote the 'Help Thy Neighbor' campaign 2009 - support your local "AMERICAN" farmer! July 3rd through 5th!
BANDS - PLEASE - come and help support this by offering your music to share - lunch (hot dogs, hamburgers,chips & drink) in exchange for your services - must have full count by this Sunday so that we can get the shopping done!
As part of a new "Help Thy Neighbor" campaign for 2009 - Beginning July 3rd -Fiddlers Flea Market on route 17B in the town of Bethel offers free vendor spaces in an effort to help promote and suppport our local Sullivan County and neighboring Wayne county farmers. 10 10x10 spaces on our lot will be made available free of charge for the remainder of the season which ends in October. Vendors must have shelter and set up if so desired. Pop up tents and outdoor tables may be donated and designated strictly for the farmers use. They will be adorned with the words "Support your local farmer". The market is open Sat. - Sun. & Holildays - 9-5 every weekend rain or shine. Naturally, we don't expect the outdoor vendors to be here in the rain - so the farmers market will be weather permitting with no obligation on rainy days. Next year, we will establish an annual membership fee for minimal charge to each vendor of the farmers market. We're thinking along the lines of $200 per vendor for the entire year - would enjoy the feedback and look forward to making this work for you - our local farmers!!
