NLFF is pleased to welcome to the band stage:
Goodnight Moonshine
(featuring Molly of Red Molly)
Goodnight Moonshine is a guitar and vocal duet, and a musical marriage in all senses. The duo combines the evocative voice and songwriting of Molly Venter, with Eben Pariser’s adventurous guitar playing. The result is folk music with a depth of improvisation and tonal subtlety usually reserved for jazz. Molly is well-known for her sublime singing in the prominent female-vocal-group Red Molly, while Eben cut his teeth as a street performer in New York City, playing guttural music of New Orleans with his band Roosevelt Dime.
“A confluence of folk, blues and hints of jazz… a singular voice that recalls pre-diva singers who could lay out emotions without melodrama.” — NPR
“Goodnight Moonshine is singer-songwriter Molly Venter and guitarist Eben Pariser, and their particular magic they create together is fluid, evocative, and absolutely mesmerizing. Watching them perform you get the sense that they aren’t just delivering a song, they ARE the music. As partners in life and in art, their deep authenticity and give-and-take collaboration is inspiring, inclusive and beautiful to witness.” —Sisters Folk Festival
“Let’s begin with the voice of Molly Venter. It’s velvety smooth. It’s biker-chick smoky. It has a jaw-dropping range and control that can bend from soulful to gritty to playful and back again.” —New Haven Register
Please join us in welcoming Goodnight Moonshine to the New London Folk Festival! Link in bio.
