Two for the Road
Molly Tuttle and John Mailander are California natives who met while studying at the Berklee School of Music in Boston. There, the multi-instrumentalists discovered a rare musical symbiosis. Though highly accomplished and sought-after players individually — they’ve fiddled or picked with everyone from Victor Wooten to Tim O’Brien — their work together sets them apart. Their 2014 self-titled debut EP was an underrated gem, a gentle fusion of folk and bluegrass tradition with subtle modern accents. The EP highlights not only their considerable instrumental and vocal skill but the unique emotional harmony that only comes from playing alongside truly kindred musical spirits. The duo performs at the Skinny Pancake in Montpelier this Sunday, April 26.
