MORE ABOUT THE ARTIST

 

Mollie O’Brien is a singer’s singer. Rich Moore is the guitarist every singer dreams of. Grammy Award winner Mollie is a vocal chameleon shifting the color of her voice to what the song demands. Rich is a master of providing exactly the right kind of musical support in a way only careful attention reveals. Forty-plus years of making music together will teach you a thing or two. Let’s just say these two are excellent students of each other.

 

Mollie should be a heroine to every girl singer that ever was. She will tell you straight up, with fierce intensity, “Voice IS an instrument.” She is a master of her instrument.

 

Speaking of impeccable, Rich Moore is as versatile and masterful a guitarist as is his singing bride. His clean fingerstyle playing effortlessly seduces gorgeous sound out of his guitars, including a Martin or two here and there. It’s not clear if his 2020 instrumental guitar release, Voiceless, was perhaps so named as a result of his droll humor. Maybe we just go with the published intent, which was to let the instrument speak for itself.

 

Between them they have released sixteen CDs including four as a duo on their label Remington Road Records; a CD with their daughters, Brigid and Lucy Moore; and Rich’s solo CDs Voiceless, (recorded in 2020 during the first months of the pandemic) and Steady State (in 2001). Their latest CD, Lost In The Crowd, was released in 2025.

 

Together, these two are the definition of delight. No pretense. No fuss. Just a gorgeous lean into a world of slyly accessible, comfortable, musical virtuosity. Together, every performance is a master class in spare, exposed beauty.

 

Mollie and Rich will be joined by Brad Morse on bass and Kevin Matthews on drums.
