Biography
Greensboro NC, United States (2007 – present)
Molly McGinn (born August 27, 1974 in Dodge City, Kansas) is an American singer-songwriter, living, writing, creating and performing out of Greensboro, North Carolina. McGinn has been the creative force behind Molly McGinn and The Buster Dillys since 2007, a band that morphs from a pure solo act to including a rotating-sized crew of Buster Dilly players.
In the mid-1990s McGinn fronted The Alan Smithee Band, whose debut album, Between Gold and Lead, released in 1995. At the time, McGinn’s songwriting was heavily influenced by the jam band styles of The Grateful Dead, Phish, and Frank Zappa.
In 1996, The Alan Smithee Band disbanded and McGinn moved to Raleigh, North Carolina. At night, McGinn played Raleigh’s open mike night scene at the Berkley Café, The Pour House, and the monthly Cypher festival at the now closed Expressions Café. The Berkley’s blues and southern rock influences, coupled with the Cypher’s improvisational freestylers, slam poets, and scratch deejays—helped form McGinn’s current songwriting style, one that combines jazz, blues, alternative country, and freestyle.
In 2000, McGinn joined a ska-funk reggae band Mars Bound Mind. Determined to find her own voice, McGinn later joined the alt-Country group Jostle Lee.
