     IBMA GUITAR PLAYER OF THE YEAR is an incredible honor for anyone! In 2017, the award from the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) went to a young woman named MOLLY TUTTLE (songwriter, guitar, banjo, clawhammer guitar, vocals), who arrived in Nashville by way of Santa Clara County, California , and her family's popular West Coast band called The Tuttles. Well, welcome, Molly!

     When we spotted her name on the calendar for City Winery Nashville, we knew we wanted to be there and to hear Molly and her friends, CHRISTIAN SEDELMYER (fiddle, vocals), NAT SMITH (cello) and ROYAL MASAT (bass).

     The lounge at City Winery is cozy and comfortable. The food and beverages, divine, and the evening with Molly, Christian, Nat, and Royal was over the top! The artists moved easily from one number to the next--expected from folks at this level who know their craft.
     Here is the selection of songs and tunes that we enjoyed: Some Days, Girl in My Shoes, Gentle on My Mind (John Hartford), You Didn't Call My Name, Old Man of the Mill (clawhammer guitar), Sit Back and Watch It Roll, Walden (Pond, couldn't get inside for a visit), Good Enough, Tall Buildings (John Hartford), My World Is Built Around You, Lightning in a Jar, Moonshiner (Peter Rowan), Bb Swedish tune (instrumental), Rain and Snow, White Freightliner, and the encore was Helpless.
