Their music is defined by three-part harmonies, signature dobro licks and inventive arrangements and has garnered growing critical acclaim since the inception of the band. Red Molly was formed late one night at the 2004 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. MacAllister, Gardner, and Carolann Solebello, three solo singer-songwriters, were the last ones left at a song circle. They liked the way they sounded together and decided to form a band. Their fans, a group which has steadily grown in number over the years, are known as "Redheads."Red Molly’s career started to take off in 2006. They were the top vote getters in the 2006 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Emerging Artist Showcase. WUMB in Boston named them Top New Artist of the Year and picked their Album Never Been to Vegas as one of their Top Albums of 2006. Their album Love and Other Tragedies reached number 15 on the Americana Charts on June 30, 2008. James reached number 4 on the same chart in May 2010. In June of 2010, Red Molly announced that Carolann Solebello would be leaving the group and replaced by Molly Venter. Molly Venter's debut with the trio was on August 6, 2010 at the Lunenburg Folk Festival.Light In The Sky, featuring the new trio, was released on October 4, 2011. Like their lively and engaging stage performances, the album features a cappella ballads, bluegrass-tinged folk and a touch of jazzy western swing.The Common Fence Music Membership Program is once again in effect.
