Molly Burch released her acclaimed debut album Please Be Mine last month to a wave of praise. Following a triumphant round of SXSW showcases, today she shares the Jordan Moser directed video for the album’s gorgeous title track, which you can watch here.
In support of Please Be Mine, Molly has been touring North American and today announces her debut visit to UK and EU shores with tour dates confirmed in May and June.
Growing up in LA with a writer/producer father and a casting director mother, Burch’s childhood was filled with old Hollywood musicals and the sounds of Patsy Cline, Billie Holiday and Nina Simone. After finding her voice in adolescence, Burch packed up to study Jazz Vocal Performance in Asheville.
Molly’s timeless voice is the first thing you’ll notice on Please Be Mine. It’s smoky, with an incredible range, effortlessly evocative of her early influences. After relocating to Austin after college, Burch began to write her own music in earnest, with the lovelorn Everly Brothers and Sam Cooke as her songwriting guides. Burch and boyfriend Dailey Toliver connected with Dan Duszynski of Cross Record, and they recorded all the songs on Please Be Mine at his idyllic studio in Dripping Springs, TX.
