Dannie Lynn (Molly) ~ Vocals and Guitar
Classically trained in voice and from a singing family (momma sang bass, daddy sang tenor), she grew up singing in church and with her family. While she became active in the folk music scene of the ‘60’s, she remained true to her classical roots. Her total immersion into Bluegrass came as a result of having been invited to the local Bluegrass Association’s Christmas party and jam. She soon began to exhibit acute jam-aholic symptoms. After playing with various local bands on a casual basis, she now plays full time with Molly & Tenbrooks.

Mark Harding ~ Bass, Vocals, Sound is a hillbilly deep down. He grew up in New York with all that city slicker stuff: the symphony, Broadway, jazz, why he says he even had a television set which he would watch all day long.

Bret Emry ~ Vocals and Guitar

our newest band member has been “doing” music since before he can remember. At church, he was introduced to four-part harmony Gospel style singing where he would settle comfortably in a bass to low tenor part, often without the hymnal. He enjoyed singing around the piano at home with his family, especially during the holiday season. Bret continued performing throughout his high school and college careers. He recently graduated from Eastern Washington University with a degree in mechanical engineering. After playing bass and drums with several Rock and jazz bands, Bret finally found a home in Bluegrass.
