The YuleDance album represents a collaboration between the band and Jesse Autumn, who has won acclaim for her playing of the double-strung harp and her singing. The album contains music from the band's Celtic Christmas show, a celebration of music, song, story, and dance associated with the festive season.
Molly's Revenge will donate $5 from the sale of each CD to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and the Aplastic Anemia and MDS International Foundation.
Here's what critics had to say about the show.
"...a gladdening evening of song, dance, and story. Using instruments like bagpipe, pennywhistle and drum as implements for deft, erudite ass kicking, David Brewer acts as the focal point of Molly's Revenge onstage frolic. You've gota love it when Brewer plays two pennywhistles at once, broadcasting the kind of goose bump inducing harmonies that are only possible when note pairs are perfectly matched in rhythm and volume. Also impressive: fiddle player John Weed's ability to stay precise at double the speed limit. Friday's show is made the more memorable by the ghostly beautiful sounds of double-strung harpist/vocalist Jesse Autumn..."
"...Blasting a hyped-up version of jigs, reels and folk tales, Molly's Revenge celebrates the Celts in songs and stories associated with the winter solstice. The instruments are traditional (bagpipes, uilean pipes, fidle, mandolin, bouzouki, and whistle) as is the drinking and dancing, but the wild pasion they they exhibit is thoroughly modern. Joining the revels is local musician Jese Autumn who excels on the double-strung harp, plays the piano, sings like a bird..."
Born out of the timeless tradition of Celtic music sessions, Molly's Revenge is a band with a genuine affection for the music they play; their enthusiasm for the music carries over in all their live and recorded performances. The classic combination of solo instruments such as the Highland bagpipes, uilleann pipes, whistles, fiddle, and mandolin against a backdrop of guitar and bouzouki accompaniment, with an occasional rousing chorus song mixed in, guarantees an enjoyable and memorable listening experience. Add the visual excitement of award-winning Irish step dancing to the mix and youíve got yourself a party!
Equally at home in front of audiences several thousand strong or in small intimate venues, Molly's Revenge has performed at many of the top folk festivals in the USA, performing arts events, and countless private concerts. Internationally, they have performed at prestigious events in Australia and China.
The band's skilled musicianship and boundless enthusiasm for its music guarantees enjoyable entertainment for people of all ages. Their arrangements of traditional Celtic jigs and reels brings these dance tunes up to date with a driving, hard-edged accent in a way that will leave your feet tapping, your hands clapping, and your voices shouting for more.
