Mollie O’Brien sings. Does she ever. Jazz, R&B, blues, gospel, southern mountain traditional — you name it. And she approaches each with an ease that makes you think she was steeped in the style since the first time a note left her throat.  She'll be sharing that gift in Romney at The Bottling Works, 426 E. Main St. in a Loy Foundation Concert.   $14 (under 12 free). Advance tickets available online.

Mollie O'Brien has been called one of roots music’s best interpreters and singers, and her voice described as “smooth,” “smoky,” “powerful,” and “bright and bold as sheet lightning.” Once you’ve heard it, you’re hooked.

Showcasing her old-time, folk, blues, and gospel chops are three albums with brother, Tim O’Brien (Take Me Back, Remember Me, and Away Out on the Mountain), and Mollie is well known for several collaborations, most notably the Grammy-winning True Life Blues: The Songs of Bill Monroe with a stellar bunch of bluegrass greats. For the past few years, Mollie has worked with Garrison Keillor and Robin & Linda Williams as the Hopeful Gospel Quartet, with her own five-piece band, and as a duo with husband Rich Moore.
