Soul-Stirring Songwriting with Molly Venter

The Songwriter's Podcast with Anne Sibley

Molly Venter is a powerful, musical spirit and one of my favorite songwriters. She is a creative vessel who performed to much acclaim with the band Red Molly and continues to make incredible music with Goodnight Moonshine, her duo with husband Eben Pariser. She performs “Lost and Found” from her Goodnight Moonshine album and a brand new song called “Kitchen Table” on this episode that you can find on her Patreon page.
