Lawrence: Live Music with Molly Pinto Madigan Band

Join us in Lawrence for live music with:

Hailed for her angelic voice and haunting compositions, Molly Pinto Madigan won first place in WUMB’s Boston Folk Festival Songwriting Contest and was named “Artist 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.

Madigan has performed extensively around the Boston area at venues like Club Passim, The Boston Celtic Music Festival, First Night Boston, Cantab Lounge, notloB Parlor Concerts, Campfire Festival, The Lizard Lounge, and The Bull Run, sharing the stage with some big names in folk music, including Claire Lynch, Scott Alarik, Bridget Fitzgerald (of Cherish the Ladies), Robbie O’Connell (of The Clancy Brothers), Susan Cattaneo, Tracy Grammer, and John Carter Cash. Molly has been featured on WUMB’s Local Folk, WATD’s Almost Famous, as well as WBRS’s Off the Beaten Path. She recently won first place in the Family Folk Chorale Songwriting Contest, and was awarded a prestigious Passim Iguana Music Fund for her album, “Wildwood Bride.”

Forged in 2010 and hailing from Lowell, Massachusetts. Old Rochelle is a creative and original and rock-and-roll band. Their sound has been described as everything from “Ramshackle Springsteen Roots-Rock” to “Zydeco-washed Americana”, “Cajun-Pop”, Cosmic Country, “Psychedelic Shoegaze”, and even “Calvary Rock”. David Gabriel Coscia (aka Bucky Fereke) delivers bright melodies, moving lyrics, and electrifying guitar solos. His vocals have been described as “a booming, world-weary baritone filled with wisdom and regret”. Their latest full-length album, Pony Steps, has already drawn high praise from critics and fans alike. Their energetic live shows are anticipated by fans as they come in to dance, listen, and sing along. Old Rochelle released a live album in 2022 called Live at Worthenfest ’22.

“A genuine slice of heartland rock that does not skimp on the heart.”
Lowell Spin, 2020

“Bucky Fereke is a talent without peer, and deserves to be heard by the masses.”
Metronome Magazine, 2016
