Hosted by Editor-in-Chief Lisa Konicki, Off the Record features in-depth conversations with top music artists, exploring their musical journeys, the craft of songwriting, and personal stories behind the music.Off the Record continues its first season with a powerful new episode. In Episode 6, available now, Konicki sits down with Molly Tuttle for a fun and deeply musical conversation—covering her latest Grammy nominations, what it felt like stepping from bluegrass into the wider world of Americana, and why performing on late-night TV still makes her nervous. Molly also looks back on her early years learning guitar by ear with her dad, the work ethic that shaped her, and the inner critic she’s still learning to quiet.A standout moment comes when Molly picks up her guitar and demonstrates the difference between flatpicking, crosspicking, and clawhammer, breaking it down in a way any listener can follow. From there, she opens up about the making of So Long Little Miss Sunshine—how the record evolved, her move beyond the Golden Highway era, and the personal meaning behind the album cover, and the album’s message of reinvention and self-acceptance.
