Mollie O’Brien was born October 25, 1952 in Wheeling, West Virginia.
In the mid-1970s she moved to Colorado, where she performed with a number of local jazz and R&B groups. Mollie formed her own band in the early 1990s.
With brother Tim O’Brien she released three duet albums to widespread acclaim. Her first Sugar Hill solo album Tell It True stayed in the Top 10 of Gavin’s Americana Chart for six weeks-astounding bluegrass fans and reacquainting her with R&B fans.
She’s appeared at the leading acoustic music festivals and venues in the US and has toured the UK, Europe and South America.
