Skinny Molly

Skinny Molly was founded in 2004 by guitarist/vocalist Mike Estes (formerly
of Lynyrd Skynyrd and Blackfoot), Dave Hlubek (founding member of Molly
Hatchet) and Nashville, TN studio drummer Kurt Pietro. Originally put
together to do a one-off tour of Europe in 2004, Skinny Molly has, thirteen
years later, become one of the hardest working and popular rock bands to
come out of the southern United States. Solidifying the current lineup in
2007, the band boasts guitarist Jay Johnson (formerly of
Blackfoot/Rossington Band), and Grand Ole Opry stalwart bassist Luke
Bradshaw. This lineup has toured relentlessly; their first jaunt found them
crossing three continents in 30 days on the strength of their debut CD "No
Good Deed", Constant gigging has established them as "The band from the
South to see" at festivals and clubs across Europe as well as at home in
the States.

In 2012, word of their incendiary live shows reached Ruf Records president
Thomas Ruf, and Skinny Molly immediately embarked on recording their
first CD for the label, "Haywire Riot." "Haywire Riot" bordered on a
southern gothic gumbo sound, while retaining Estes' dark lyrics about lost
love, redemption and the freedom of life on the road.

After amicably parting with Ruf in 2014, the band set out to record their
best blast of "Southern Rawk" as Estes calls it, the aptly titled "Here For A
Good Time". The CD is a collection of songs that the band thinks is their
best yet. "Here For A Good Time" is sure to please fans
