Molly Rose Tuttle was born on January 14, 1993, in Santa Clara, California, and raised in Palo Alto. Her early exposure to music came through her father, Jack Tuttle, a bluegrass multi-instrumentalist and instructor. Molly began playing guitar at the age of eight and performed onstage with her father by age 11. At 13, she recorded the album “The Old Apple Tree” with him. Her musical education continued with merit scholarships to Berklee College of Music in 2012 for music and composition. In the same year, she received the Foundation for Bluegrass Music’s first Hazel Dickens Memorial Scholarship and won the Chris Austin Songwriting Competition at the Merlefest Music Festival. She also appeared on “A Prairie Home Companion” with her father.
In 2017, Tuttle became the first woman to win the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Guitar Player of the Year award, an achievement she repeated in 2018. That year, she was also named the Americana Music Association’s Instrumentalist of the Year. Her solo career gained momentum with the release of her EP “Rise” in 2017, followed by her debut album “When You’re Ready” in 2019 via Compass Records. In 2020, she released “But I’d Rather Be with You.” In 2021, she formed her band Golden Highway and signed with Nonesuch Records, releasing “Crooked Tree” in 2022 and “City of Gold” in 2023. “Crooked Tree” earned her a Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album in 2023, where she also received a nomination for Best New Artist. “City of Gold” also won the Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album in 2024. In 2025, Tuttle announced a new all-female band and the release of her album “So Long Little Miss Sunshine,” which received a Grammy nomination for Best Americana Album in 2026.
Throughout her career, Tuttle has engaged in various collaborations, including joining the all-female bluegrass group the Goodbye Girls in 2014, releasing an EP with fiddler John Mailander, and performing as part of the First Ladies of Bluegrass supergroup. She has toured extensively and has been recognized for her distinct flatpicking, clawhammer, and crosspicking guitar techniques.
