the heartbreakers, the hymns, the ballads, the hits -
and finds its soul.."

the real thing..
truly moving."

is.. to be knocked out of your seat."
jackie demaline - cincinnati enquirer

on the folk scene."
sonny thomas - fiddle & bow, winston-salem, nc
"molly andrews.. is an amazing singer.
her voice is as rich as cream and smooth
as butter."

she induces shivers..
achingly expressive."
judith egerton - louisville courier-journal
"even with good songs, it takes a good singer to make them work.
one standout performer is andrews. whether singing the ballads or the fun stuff.. her powerful voice is used to great effect."
rodger pille - citybeat
"andrews' sweet, mellifluous voice captures
the audience completely and holds them in the
palm of her hand until she alone decides to let them go.
you wish she never would."

We are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;-
World-losers and world forsakers
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world forever it seems.
We, in the ages lying
In the buried past of the earth,
Built Nineveh with our sighing,
And Babel itself with our mirth;
And o’erthrew them with prophesying
To the old of the new world’s worth;
For each age is a dream that is dying,
Or one that is coming to birth.
.. Arthur O'Shaughnessy
