“I wasn’t born in Texas, but I got here as soon as I could.”. Raised in Los Angeles – a jazz vocal student at UNC – it wasn’t until moving to Austin that Molly Burch found her audience. Having released her debut album, Please Be Mine, nearly a year ago – Burch already has a record deal, a national audience, and garnered gravitating comparisons to Patsy Cline, Nina Simone, and Billie Holiday. While nostalgia permeates Burch’s romantic melodies, her subtle experimentation on tracks like “Fool” and “Please Be Mine” proves that Burch’s music is contemporary and unique. Keep an eye on Molly as she seduces SXSW crowds this March in Austin.
