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. Growing up in Wheeling, West Virginia, one of five children, Mollie was exposed to music of every stripe, from performances by the Wheeling Symphony to concerts by Count Basie, Ray Charles, and the Beatles.

They strive to integrate a wide range of old-time songs, ballads, fiddle tunes and jug band blues into every performance, infused with the oldtime feeling and freewheelin’ high energy that characterized early string bands such as The Skillet Lickers, Dykes Magic City Trio, The Mississippi Sheiks, and J.E. Mainer’s Mountaineers, among many others. They are influenced and inspired by the direct fusion of Scots-Irish and African music that took place in Appalachia, the Western states and the Deep South from the earliest colonial times through the Second World War. The Dust Busters have been playing together for about 2 1/2 years, and have been touring quite a bit around the United States playing festivals, colleges and venues and have just returned from their first tour of the UK and Ireland!
