Skinny Molly was founded in 2004 by guitarist/vocalist Mike Estes
(formerly of Lynyrd Skynyrd) , Dave Hlubek ( of Molly Hatchet) and
drummer Kurt Pietro. What was meant to be a one off tour of Europe
has turned into one of the hardest working and popular rock bands out of
the southern United States. Skinny Molly now includes guitarist Jay
Johnson (formerly of Blackfoot), and bassist Luke Bradshaw. This line
up has toured relentlessly, crossing the States and three continents on the
strength of their "No Good Deed" debut CD, which has established the
band as a very popular live attraction across Europe as well as at home.
In addition to being constantly in demand as a live act the band has appeared on the popular FOX television programs “Huckabee” and “Red
Eye” in which they have also recorded the latter’s theme song. The
group is currently recording their second cd, "Haywire Riot" to be
released in April 2011, followed by a three week European tour.
Skinny Molly describes their music as deep rooted rock and roll. They
have built an extremely loyal following through incessant touring and
word of mouth. Skinny Molly has all of the qualities of classic bands
you love combined with their own unique sound.
