Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway Go ‘Into The Wild’ On New EP + Add 2024 Fall Tour Dates

Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway announced details of Into The Wild, a six-song EP due on September 20 via Nonesuch Records. The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and her band also shared the title track from the forthcoming set and expanded their upcoming fall tour with eight new headline dates.

Molly Tuttle‘s Golden Highway ensemble features fiddler Bronwyn Keith-Hynes, mandolinist Dominick Leslie, bass player Shelby Means and banjo player Kyle Tuttle. Into The Wild comes on the heels of 2023’s City Of Gold, which earned the Tuttle and her band their second Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album in a row.

Into The Wild consists of the title track and two other new songs as well as an alternate version of the City Of Gold cut “Stranger Things” and previously shared covers of Olivia Rodrigo’s “good 4 u” and Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit.” The announcement comes as Tuttle and her band are set to begin a tour with The Infamous Stringdusters this Friday, August 2 in Seattle.

Molly Tuttle shared the following about Into The Wild:

“With this new EP we invite you to come on a journey with us Into the Wild. I wrote the title track with Ketch Secor after a week spent in the redwoods. This song is about getting lost in the wilderness even if it’s just in the forest of your mind. ‘Getaway Girl’ was an unfinished song I had started writing for our last LP City of Gold. It’s about a whirlwind romance set in New York City, kind of like Carrie Bradshaw meets bluegrass. In addition to these two new original songs, we included some of our favorite covers that we’ve woven into the live show, ‘White Rabbit’ by Jefferson Airplane and ‘good 4 u’ by Olivia Rodrigo.

“We paid tribute to one of my favorite California songwriters Kate Wolf with a new version of her song ‘Here in California’ which features my dad, Jack Tuttle, and longtime friend AJ Lee singing with me. I used to play this one with my family band back in the day! On ‘Stranger Things (Down the Rabbit Hole Version),’ I wanted to go for a stripped back ethereal version of this song originally played by the full band on City of Gold. It features a trio with Dominick Leslie on mandolin, and Nathaniel Smith on cello and synth. I hope you enjoy trekking deeper into the woods with us as we pick up where we left off on City of Gold and explore new territory as a band.”
