Molly Thomason
Biography

Born in Sidcup, Kent, England, Molly moved to NS with her theatre practitioner parents when she was 2. She’s been called an old soul in a charged, 15 year old body. Her passion for writing and performing communicates through her intelligent and subtle lyrics and her deft and lyrical melody writing.

Molly was the youngest (at 14) recipient of an Emerging Music Grant through the Dept of Tourism and Culture (NS) for her Debut CD, Through the Static. It was released to terrific reviews in June 2009 and then nominated for New Artist Recording of the year, Molson Canadian Nova Scotia Music Week. Her first single, Kiss Me, went to #1 on the East Coast Countdown and stayed for three weeks, then in the top ten for four months.

She’s performed her original work at, among many other places...
Music on Main, Antigonish, Stanfest (2008, and 2009), Music Nova Scotia Open Mic at the Seahorse, Music Nova Scotia Music week 2009 (Showcase)The Normaway Inn (opened for Scott MacMillan 2008 and Andrew White 2009), The Company House Halifax, The Music Room, Halifax, Opening for Christina Martin (Codapop House Concert), the Trellis Café, and a mini-set opening at the Carleton Halifax before Dave Bidini, of the Rheostatics, December 6, 2009.

"It isn't often that one so young with relatively little life experience is able to express feelings that are only understood with age – Molly Thomason has been given a great gift."
- Glenn Meisner, Producer Atlantic Airwaves, CBC Radio

"Through The Static just doesn't seem like a debut CD. It seems like it should be in a collection of a seasoned recording artist who's been doing this for years. I look forward to seeing what Thomason comes up with next. Writing love songs is only going to get more complicated when the girl is old enough to drive."
- Jillian Hamilton, East Coast Overture (www.eastcoast-overture.com)

"Molly is an incredibly gifted songwriter, has a knack for writing a great hook, and a whole lot of passion for someone so young. I predict that she has a bright musical future ahead of her."
- Jill Barber, ECMA and MNS Award Winning songwriter and performer

"A shocking but pleasantly surprising swath of confidence undercuts Thomason's spirited debut -- someone too young to drive probably shouldn't have such adult-like insights into heartbreak."
