Known for her atmospheric arrangements layering guitar, voice, and looped harmonies into immersive soundscapes, Molly brings a depth of artistry perfectly suited for a close-listening environment. Each night of the residency will present a unique and evolving musical experience. Molly will craft new setlists, play songs from her new record Interwoven (released May 2025), and preview new material. This residency is a space to bring people together during the quietest season of the year. More than a concert series, this residency is a winter gathering place: a warm space to connect & listen. LAAMAR's Bio: LAAMAR is the latest project led by Minneapolis-based singer, songwriter, saxophonist, and composer Geoffrey Lamar Wilson. On the band’s debut EP, Flowers, Wilson blends his idiomatic inspirations bridging folk, soul, R&B, and country with a constant ear toward racial and social justice issues and the shared human experience. “In the EP's deceptively sweet and warm title track, he relays a memory of his mother ‘lighting candles and putting flowers on the boulevard’ in memory of another dead man of color. In the standout track getting airplay on the Current, 'Home to My Baby,' he relays his personal fears of getting pulled over by police,” writes Chris Riemenschneider of the Star Tribune. Recent acclaim for LAAMAR includes debut single “Home to My Baby” being named KAXE’s “Best Song” of 2023 and a nod as one of First Avenue’s Best New Bands. “With Flowers,” writes Malachy Koons of KAXE, "LAAMAR has crafted a stunning debut that does not shy away from difficult topics. The new EP features four instantly catchy songs, with each taking a different approach to issues of racial and social justice.”
