Back in March of 2010, Skinny Molly received an offer to play our newly recorded and decidedly politically song "Mr President" on the FOX News Channel program "Huckabee". Huckabee is a popular political/talk/opinion show hosted by former presidential candidate/Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee.
"I don't get on a plane without it" I consider myself to be a "shade tree" political pundit, as politics is a hobby of mine. It's something I no doubt inherited from my dad, who is a very

Year In Review!
After returning from our latest tour in Europe in early December, we've had a chance to look back on all that has transpired over the past year. It was immediately clear that we have our loyal fans from all over the world to thank for making it a fabulous year for Skinny Molly. YOU made it happen! We played a ton of gigs all over the USA and Europe, and YOU came to the shows and YOU bought the Haywire Riot CD's, and most importantly, YOU helped spread the word about the band. We can't thank you enough for…Read more

The Daily Band Guy
Used to be, when I was a much younger man, playing in a band was fairly easy. You called up a bar, or went by there, and talked them into putting your band on for a gig, for very little money. You put up some homemade posters at places and hoped people came to the gig. In my 30 plus years in the music biz, SO much has changed. These days, it's a totally full-time, (meaning over 10 hour days) job, and in order to keep your costs down like any small business, I have to wear a bunch of different hats. At any…Read more
"Writing Mode"
I'm really happy and thankful we are getting great response to
Haywire Riot! I have already been thinking about the
next CD, and the songs, and have went into "writing mode"
Writing mode is a great place to be, when that's all you have
to do. But it can be frustrating when other duties call and interrupt
it. The phone. Band biz. Laundry. Today's distraction? Toilet repair.
Distractions can really put a kink in the hose (Sorry, I have water on my mind)
