ABOUT MOLLY TUTTLE

Following two GRAMMY®-winning albums with her band Golden Highway and a Best New Artist nomination, Molly Tuttle release her fifth full-length album, 2025’s So Long Little Miss Sunshine, to wide-spread critical acclaim. Recorded in Nashville with producer Jay Joyce, the LP saw Tuttle expand her sound into a vibrant mix of Americana, country, rock, and flat-picking while exploring deeply personal themes of self-acceptance and reinvention, shaped in part by her lifelong journey with alopecia areata.

The album earned two GRAMMY® nominations, including Best Americana Album, with its lead single “That’s Gonna Leave A Mark” also nominated for Best Americana Performance. The track became her biggest radio success to date, spending four weeks at #1 on Americana Radio and debuting in the Top 20 at AAA, and she performed it on CBS Saturday where she also sat down with Anthony Mason for a profile. Tuttle kicked off 2026 performing the song on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

A two-time GRAMMY® winner with five career nominations, Tuttle continues to push the boundaries of roots music while carving out a singular lane of her own. She will tour throughout 2026.
