Outshine the Dusk

Hailed for her 'pure, sweetquot; singing style as well as for her haunting compositions, Molly Pinto Madigan won first place in the Boston Folk Festival Songwriting Contest for 'Bound Away,' and she was recently named 'Artist of the Year' as well as 'Singer/Songwriter of the Year' at Salem State University, her alma mater. Since her debut as the lead singer for the teen bluegrass band, Jaded Mandolin, Madigan has submerged herself in the dark, luscious world of ballads, drawn to their magic, and her original songs echo with the whisperings of the American and European traditional music. 'Outshine the Dusk,' her first full-length, solo studio album, features Molly Pinto Madigan on vocals, guitar, and piano. Recorded in mostly single takes, the tracks themselves are raw and intimate, allowing listeners to lose themselves in the waves of Madigan's clear and dulcet croon.
