May 15, 2022Understanding how much I love live music, my partner surprised me with hiring Molly for my birthday party. Her set was versatile, potent, and masterful. She is a truly special talent. We had an incredible time and I won’t forget it.

May 9, 2022I hired Molly to perform at my birthday party weekend and to say it was the highlight of the trip is a gross understatement. If you’ve ever wondered what the love child of Nina Simone, Adele and a rock n roll angel sounded like, it’s Molly Durand. To witness her perform is to be in the presence of an artist channeling a higher power. I can’t recommend Molly enough. She had all of my guests in tears and brought new, incredible life to songs I’ve long loved. You cannot put a price on having this kind of talent at your event.

May 6, 2022I hired Molly Durand to sing at an event last summer and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Her voice is so powerful and soulful and her performance was absolutely spectacular. She captivated the audience with her talent and her stage presence, sometimes bringing people to tears. Her vocal range is magnificent and her ability to perform a variety of songs makes for an awesome show. Definitely recommend!!!
