Molly Venter of Red Molly, ep. 49

Molly Venter of Red Molly and Goodnight Moonshine has a style reminiscent of the clearest folk singers from the 60's combined with a classic 50's rock vibe. On top of all this, she's an incredibly delightful person. Molly's story begins in New Haven, CT, where she was raised by two parents whose past times included sailing and performing music. Molly actually learned how to play guitar while on a sailboat. After college, she moved around a lot: Idaho, Mexico and finally Austin, TX for quite awhile before eventually coming back to New Haven.We talked about her connection with her hometown, joining up with Red Molly and her partnership with Eben Pariser (husband and bandmate). My favorite part of the conversation was when we talked about her dad, Josiah Venter, who died in 2011. From what I read about him, Josiah was a special person with a very meaningful presence for Molly. I'm grateful to have been able to talk with Molly for the podcast. I had only known her for a short time, but she's so easy to talk to and so open, it feels like I've known her for a long time. American Songwriter Podcast Network Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
