Molly Tuttle and her band took the stage on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to perform “That’s Gonna Leave a Mark,” a GRAMMY-nominated track from her GRAMMY-nominated album ‘So Long Little Miss Sunshine.’ The performance is available to watch now, and it is a strong reminder of what Tuttle brings to a live setting: precision, presence, and genuine command of the room.
‘So Long Little Miss Sunshine’ was recorded in Nashville with producer Jay Joyce. The eleven originals and one cover (Icona Pop and Charli XCX’s “I Love It”) pull from pop, country, rock, and flat-picking, with a murder ballad thrown in for good measure. Tuttle’s guitar work is more front and center here than on any previous record, and she introduces banjo playing into two tracks for the first time. The album is nominated for Best Americana Album at the GRAMMYs, with “That’s Gonna Leave a Mark” up for Best Americana Performance.
The record is a genuinely bold move, expanding Tuttle’s sonic range without losing the virtuosity that made her a standout in the first place. It earns every one of those nominations.
