Tuttle releases "Old Me (New Wig)" video

Thursday, August 21, 2025 – Days after Molly Tuttle released her new solo album, "So Long Little Miss Sunshine," via Nonesuch Records, Tuttle shared the video for the song "Old Me (New Wig)" today.

And I like singing this song because there are days I'm still telling myself to leave that stuff behind."

Others are a hodgepodge of material recorded here and there and sold to help pay for gas money to the artists' next live gig. And some, like Molly Tuttle's "Rise", are exquisitely constructed messages in a bottle, to sum up the artists' current stage of development.
