Bluegrass lovers are in luck this weekend, as Acoustic Brew will be featuring eclectic group Red Molly.

The group consists of three women -- Laurie MacAllister on guitar and banjo, Carolann Solebello on guitar, bass and mandolin and Abbie Gardner on Dobro and guitar. All three women also sing, Gardner said.

"We have a three-part harmony on each song," she said.

Three-part harmonies, mandolins and Dobros are staples of bluegrass music, but Red Molly isn't a typical group in the genre. An all-female bluegrass group is an unusual thing, Mel DeYoung, head of the booking committee for Acoustic Brew, said. DeYoung said a woman playing the Dobro is also an oddity of sorts in bluegrass music.

"It's neat to see a woman [Gardner] play a Dobro so well," he said.

All three members of the group bring a unique flavor to Red Molly. Not only have the women play in other musical genres, but they also worked odd jobs while initially touring.

"Carolann was an English teacher. Laurie was a waitress for a while, and I was an occupational therapist, " Gardner said. Now all three women play music full time. Before the group formed more than two years ago, each member had had separate musical experiences.

"All three of us played in bands of different types. Carolann was an actress doing musical theater. Laurie was doing backup with a guy," Gardner said. Gardner herself played guitar and sang for a rock group in the New York City area, where all three members are from. She said there is a big difference between the rock and bluegrass scene.

"The biggest difference is where you play. We tend to play in concert settings --places where people drink coffee instead of beer," she said.
