Red Molly with special guest Anthony Da Costa

Show Description

Since 2004, Red Molly has been bringing audiences to their feet with stunning three-part harmonies, crisp musicianship, and their warm, engaging stage presence.  The ladies have a lot of fun on stage, and it’s contagious.  In 2008, Red Molly released their first full-length studio album, called LOVE AND OTHER TRAGEDIES.  It rose quickly into the Top 20 on the Radio & Records Americana chart, and stayed there for 10 full weeks in Summer 2008.

A prolific songwriter and self-taught, multi-instrumentalist, 17 year-old Anthony Da Costa’s writing and performing draw from a deep well of rich musical influences — from Bob Dylan and Dan Bern, to Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings, to Ryan Adams and John Prine. In the past year, Anthony released his sixth record; opened for Loretta Lynn and Dan Bern; was profiled in The New York Times; performed at the Kerrville, Falcon Ridge, Philadelphia and Woody Guthrie Folk Festivals; debuted in Europe at Denmark’s Tonder Festival and was nominated as Folk Alliance Emerging Artist of the Year. He also recorded his seventh album with duo partner Abbie Gardner of Red Molly in just three days — a record that made the finals of the Independent Music World Series. Last year he became the youngest winner ever of Kerrville’s New Folk and Falcon Ridge’s Emerging Artist Competitions; formally showcased at Tin Pan South and was a Mountain Stage NewSong finalist. Now in his fourth year as a touring artist, Anthony is a strict adherent to Zimmerman’s Theory of the Never-Ending Tour, playing perpetually at festivals, theaters, clubs and coffee houses…everywhere.
