TENNESSEE rockers Skinny Molly will be taking to the stage tomorrow night (Friday) at The Wharf in Tavistock.

The band was founded by guitarist/vocalist Mike Estes (formerly of Lynyrd Skynyrd and Blackfoot) and Nashville, TN studio drummer Kurt Pietro.

Originally put together to do a one-off tour of Europe in 2004, Skinny Molly has, 11 years later, become one of the hardest working and popular rock bands out of the southern United States. Solidifying the current line up in 2008, the band boasts guitarist Jay Johnson (formerly of Blackfoot/Rossington Band), and Grand Ole Opry stalwart bassist Luke Bradshaw.

This line up has toured relentlessly; its first jaunt found members crossing three continents in 30 days on the strength of its debut CD No Good Deed. Constant gigging has established it as ‘the band from the south to see’ across Europe as well as at home in The States.
