ARTIST BIO
Molly Conrad is an indie-folk pop singer/songwriter based in Buffalo, NY. Originally from Iowa, Conrad started out headlining venues all throughout the Quad Cities, including the Redstone Room. Molly later spent a few years in Nashville recording, releasing four albums and numerous singles, supporting those efforts with appearances at Nashville’s renowned Bluebird Cafe, and other venues in Music City. Conrad’s earnest songwriting and charisma drew the attention of the Blue Plate Special radio show in Knoxville where she was asked to play. No matter where she calls home, Molly has always loved the road and has toured many parts of the U.S. as well as western Europe. She shares her many inner thoughts and relatable stories of heartbreak with honest, introspective lyrics, accompanying herself on acoustic guitar — and sometimes as part of an acoustic duo or a full band. Regardless of how performances are configured, Conrad’s thousands of fans come to her music for the authentic, emotional connection. Molly is currently working on an EP projected for a 2025 release.
