THE TENNESSEE STIFFS Fueled by their eclectic musical interests, they were determined to create something never heard before. They seamlessly blend Delta Blues, Rock 'n' Roll, and Country into a powerful and provocative genre they call “death folk”. Late night writing sessions soaked in whiskey gave the group a sound all their own. Cara’s melodies range from hauntingly beautiful to wildly soulful. Blended with Lee’s foot-stomping rhythms and gravelly vocals, the two take the “Beauty and the Beast” standard to heart. MOLLY PINTO MADIGAN Winner of the Boston Folk Festival's Songwriter Contest and dual Creativity Award recipient from Salem State University, Molly Pinto Madigan is a young songwriter who has earned praise for her angelic voice. Filled with smoke and roses, heartbreak and beauty and unrelenting hope, her songs combine haunting melodies with raw, poetic lyrics to create an intimate and evocative listening experience.
