Influenced by artists such as Radiohead, Andrew Bird, Agnes Obel and more experimental artists such as Massive Attack and Portishead, her music is heavily laden with her lush string arrangements, unconventional use of the orchestral instruments, and infectious, genre-bending beats. All instruments aside, Molly’s strongest asset might be considered her voice, as she has been singing on various stages since her early childhood years.

She has opened for Victor Wooten, Yonder Mountain String Band, The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, among many more, and has played sets at Burning Man, Roots N Blues Festival in Columbia, ReKinection Festival, and for the Missouri Contemporary Ballet. Her band, the Molly Healey String Project, features the following members: Zach Harrison on electric guitar, Kyle Day on bass, and Danny Carroll on drums. Molly also continues to play violin for The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, The Lacewings, and guests with such acts as Ha Ha Tonka, and many others. She frequently does session work for various bands across the state. Molly is also the co-organizer of Earth Day: The Festival, an annual music festival that raises funds for local environmental organizations. She is currently in the studio working on new music to be released in 2026.

Barak Hill is a singer-songwriter from Spring­field, Missouri, the winner of American Songwriter Magazine’s 2012 Santa Cruz Guitar Song Contest, and was named one of the top three solo musicians in Southwest Missouri in a 417 Magazine readers’ poll. Barak tours regularly and has shared the stage with a wide range of artists — from popular regional bands like Big Smith and The Ben Miller Band to national artists like Jay Farrar (Son Volt) and Amanda Shires (Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit). Barak’s songs and sound run in the same vein as Amos Lee, Josh Ritter, Steve Earle, and Gillian Welch. It’s heartbroken Americana hanging on to a fistful of hope that things might just get better. Honest, well-crafted lyrics set to strong melodies connect with people on an intimate, personal level.
