Biography

The Goodbye Girls are a new quartet out of Boston. The band is comprised of Lena Jonsson on fiddle, Allison de Groot on banjo, Brittany Karlson on bass, and Molly Tuttle on guitar. Meeting as students in the American Roots Music Program at the highly respected Berklee College of Music, these four young women from the US, Canada, and Sweden formed the band out of a common love for old-time and traditional bluegrass music.

This year they spent much of the Summer touring in Sweden, supported by the Cultural Council of Västra Götaland. Their joyful, high-energy performances received a great response from audiences all over Sweden. This summer also marked the release of their first EP called "Going to Boston" which is a mix of raging old-time tunes, traditional bluegrass songs, and original material. Their sound is rooted in traditional material, but features fresh arrangements and ideas.

The Goodbye Girls have already caused a buzz in music media, appearing in Bluegrass Today, European Bluegrass Blog, World News Report's World.EIN.com, HelaHalsingland.se, and Lira Music Magazine, which had this to say about the band,

"Fresh, soft and rippling - deftly played, with their own tone within a well-trodden tradition."
