Mollie O'Brien (oft-featured on Prairie Home Companion)
with Rich Moore
Friday, March 12, 2010   7:30PM

Mollie O’Brien sings. Does she ever. Jazz, R&B, blues, gospel, southern mountain traditional — you name it. And she approaches each with an ease that makes you think she was steeped in the style since the fi rst time a note left her throat.

Called one of roots music’s best interpreters and singers, Mollie's voice has
described as “smooth,” “smoky,” “powerful,” and “bright and bold as sheet lightning.” Once you’ve heard it, you’re hooked.

Mollie is the sister of Grammy-winner Tim O'Brien, with whom she has recorded three duet albums. The two grew up with other siblings in Wheeling, WV. Both have been featured onstage for the WV Music Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies the last two years. She has worked with Garrison Keillor and Robin & Linda Williams as the Hopeful Gospel Quartet, with her own five-piece band, and as a duo with husband Rich Moore. Whatever the combination, Mollie gracefully navigates each musical twist and turn.
It’s little wonder that Mollie has earned rave notices at major festivals and venues throughout the U.S. and in the United Kingdom, Europe, and South America.

Admission $14 under 12 free.
Advance tickets available online or at the Hampshire County Visitors Center in The Bottling Works, Mon-Sat. 9AM-4PM.
