Chesky Records spent much of the summer combing through over 3,500 submissions to its inaugural Singer-Songwriter search through ReverbNation. After many hours listening and much debate, we narrowed the field down to 13. During a voting tournament, 13 were narrowed down to 2.

Hey Everyone! I just wanted to say hello and send you some extra links, in case you'd like them.

Here's my most recent album, which I recorded at Dirt Floor in CT: https://mollypintomadigan.bandcamp.com/album/wildwood-bride. All originals.

If you'd like to check out some live videos, I have a few up on my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/mollypintomadigan

Some fun facts about me: I'm a Boston-based singer/songwriter, and at 14, I got my start singing in a teen bluegrass band. I dabbled in Celtic folk, then studied classical piano in college. I was homeschooled, and my first day of college was also, coincidentally, my first day of school ever. In my spare time, I write novels based on fairy tales and old ballads and have just taken up ballroom dance in the hopes that my music career takes off and I'm asked to be on Dancing With the Stars. I see this competition as the first potential step in that dastardly direction.

I hope my music resonates with you, and you can find out more about me and my songs at www.mollypintomadigan.com or www.facebook.com/mollypintomadigan.

P.S. Here are the lyrics to "On the Hunt:"

When tufted tales of day dwindle to smoke-ring sighs;
When fire flickers on your skin,
My golden one, my child, forged in the summer skies,
The fox is on the hunt.

Don't close your eyes without me,
Don't close your eyes without me.
The fox is on the hunt.

When tawny trails of gold link your wild heart to mine;
When kestrel calls your love away,
My darling one, my child, caught in the span of time,
The fox is on the hunt.

When August heaves a sigh, beckoning to July;
When apples ripen in the sun,
Then oh, my babe, my child, tell me love never dies.
The fox is on the hunt.
 


Thanks for everything!  This has been such an amazing experience, and I wish you all the best. 
<3 Molly

A vote for Molly is a vote for an extremely talented and lovely singer/songwriter whose voice will grab you from the first few notes and keep you mesmerized throughout. Highly deserving this award and your support.

Hey Molly
 
Your voice reminds me of Daniela Gesundheit of Snowblink... she's one of my faves. This will be a tough choice!

Tough choice indeed, I´d pick both of them if I could...Molly gets my vote in the end because her voice caresses your soul and that voice is going to take her places. 
 
Many thanks to the people at Chesky for allowing us to discover such wonderful artists.

I agree both young ladies are song bird beauties....but the girl who has what I gravitate to, and makes me feel inspired....where I sail away with is KORBE CANIDA .She has a wide range of styles, vocals and I believe greatest potential of producing wonderful songs to enjoy for many-many years.

Two fabulous artists - but my vote ultimately goes to Molly.  I bought her album yesterday (Bandcamp FTW) - it is stunning.

I adore Korbe's music, It feels so unique, like a breath of fresh air!

I've been so impressed with Molly's music!  I already own Outshine the Dusk and Wildwood Bride--I can't wait to see what she does next!  Gotta be Molly!

A vote for Korbe, but I'm splitting hairs here.  I will likely download Molly's new digital album from Bandcamp as well.  Hey Chesky, how about two record deals if it's a tie??  Sounds like a win-win to me!

Has to be molly

Molly. It wasn't even a contest.
 
PS: The link to vote doesn't work for me. I run noscript and when I disable Javascript I see the choice. When I enable it, it's like I already voted. In other browsers it's the same, it thanks me for voting.
AFAIK I didn't vote.

Same here

My vote is for Molly

Here too. People earlier seemed to be able to vote though...
