An encore lunchtime performance! The Goodbye Girls are an exciting new all-female quartet from Boston made up of young acoustic musicians from the US, Canada and Sweden. Formed out of a common love for old-time, traditional bluegrass and Swedish traditional music, the band is fronted by 2017 IBMA Guitarist of the Year Molly Tuttle, the first woman to ever win the award. Tuttle is also the lead vocalist, joined by Lena Jonsson (Lena Jonsson & Brittany Haas) on fiddle, Allison de Groot (Molsky’s Mountain Drifters) on banjo and Brittany Karlson on bass. With international tours and major festival appearances under their belt, The Goodbye Girls blend Swedish polskas with traditional bluegrass songs and raging old-time dance tunes. Both Molly Tuttle and Brittany Karlson of The Goodbye Girls are former participants in SMF’s Acoustic Music Seminar, a workshop and mentorship program led by Mike Marshall.
