Molly Burch
Molly Burch (born 23 October 1990) is an American singer-songwriter. Based in Austin, Texas, her music often reflects themes of heartbreak and loss.[2][3] She is the lead vocalist and writer.[4] Burch studied jazz vocal performance at UNC Asheville and gravitated towards vocalists such as Nina Simone and Billie Holiday.[5] A reviewer described her music as an "intoxicating ode to an unrequited love" as from a "smoky club chanteuse".[6] She recorded the albums Please Be Mine (Captured Tracks, 2017), First Flower (Captured Tracks, 2018), and The Molly Burch Christmas Album (Captured Tracks, 2019).
