"Molly's Revenge operates at a higher voltage than most Celtic bands
these days … launching Celtic music into the new century with equal
parts hot chops and exuberance."

Danny Carnahan (producer,
musician, author)
"Nothing but sheer delight, enthusiasm,
and joy ... the band was clearly having one hell of a good time."

Corvallis (OR) Gazette-Times
"Revered in California as one of
its most energetic, exciting and innovative bands, Molly's Revenge
has a produced an album that is a total joy."

Shay Black, of the legendary
Black family
"The instruments are traditional
… but the wild passion they exhibit is thoroughly modern."

Metro Santa Cruz
"Molly's Revenge indulges in little
in the way of morose balladry, instead celebrating life, community
and the sheer joy of playing. Amidst the skirling pipes and thumping
bodhrans, it's that session spirit of gathering that gives the music
such a powerful pull."

Born of the timeless tradition of
the all-night music session, Molly's Revenge is a dynamic, acoustic
Celtic band known for its unique and infectious on-stage enthusiasm.
The classic combination of bagpipes, whistle, fiddle, and song,
set against a backdrop of guitar, bouzouki, and mandola accompaniment
guarantees an enjoyable experience for all fans of Scottish and
Irish music.
Molly's Revenge has performed at many of the top folk festivals
and performing arts events in the USA, and prestigious events in
Australia and China. Their arrangements of traditional Celtic jigs
and reels bring these dance tunes up to date with a driving, hard-edged
accent that always leaves audiences shouting for more.
Molly's Revenge is pleased to announce that award-winning vocalist
and accordionist Moira Smiley will be joining the band for select
tours. Known nationally for her groundbreaking work with contemporary
vocal group VOCO, Moira has proven her traditional skills by winning
the Western USA Division of the All-Ireland Singing Championship.
Molly's Revenge recently released their seventh CD, The Western
Shore. Produced by John Doyle (a founding member of Irish supergroup
Solas), the recording also features guest performers percussionist
Fraser Stone (Old Blind Dogs) and Moira Smiley.
