The Tuttles With A. J. Lee
It’s the last show of the season and a CD release celebration! The Tuttles With A. J. Lee are our hometown heroes. RBA has been presenting these talented teens since they were pre-teens, and have delighted in watching them grow up on stage. They long ago surpassed the “pretty great for kids” handle; this is a truly exceptional band.
Since last appearing on the RBA stage, Molly won the Chris Austin Songwriting Contest at Merlefest with her original composition “Walden,” and Molly and Jack were runners-up in the Prairie Home Companion duet contest. A.J. Lee was featured in a Mother Jones magazine article titled, “Could This Kid Be the Next Alison Krauss?” and Jack was awarded a Lifetime Membership by the California Bluegrass Association.
The Tuttles with A.J. Lee are: Molly Tuttle (19) - vocals, guitar, banjo; A.J. Lee (14) - vocals, mandolin; Sullivan Tuttle (16) - guitar; Michael Tuttle (14) - mandolin; and Jack Tuttle (ageless) - acoustic bass, fiddle, vocals.
