PICK: Molly Tuttle

Guitar Hero: Americana guitarist and songwriter Molly Tuttle traces her musical origins to playing in her father’s bluegrass band at 11 years old, and she wants to pay it forward. “One of my goals is to inspire the next generation, especially young girls, to
play guitar,” she says. “I think if girls see a woman doing something, it helps them think, ‘I can do that, too.’”
Her most recent album, …but I’d rather be with you, highlights her expert flatpicking and sweet, pure voice that evoke folk ballads from the ’60s. From FKA Twigs to the Rolling Stones, the record is a tribute to the songs that sparked her love of music.

Saturday 5/29, $10 livestream, $120-300 pods. Festy, Chisholm Vineyards at Adventure Farm, 1135 Clan Chisholm Ln., Earlysville. thefesty.com.
