Molly Parden, Joshua Fletcher, and Jack Armbrust

Raised in Georgia in a big family where singing wasn't the norm, Molly Parden emerged as the lone artist, carving a quiet, distinct path from Atlanta to Nashville, now residing in New York.

Her songs shimmer with understated depth, her voice a balm for heartbreak, and her live shows balance poignant truths with dry, disarming humor. She's equal parts heartache and levity, mystery and melody, offering a kind of private wisdom through every aching refrain.

Joshua Fletcher’s love for songwriting showed up early. Penning angsty Christian punk songs for his first band, “The Knockout,” in the back of public school classrooms in the Atlanta suburbs where he was raised, he fell in love with the ability of a song to speak to the entirety of a feeling - the way it can mark time, or turn the fleeting into the eternal.

At nearly 40, Fletcher is a long way from the urgent, useless angst of a suburban teen. The songs he writes today are reflections of places in time - of a life spent collecting stories, and the dreams that shift into themselves the more we chase them. They are a way for him to reckon with a world whose relentless changes we are never fully prepared to bear.

Joshua Fletcher spent most of 2025 slowly working on his fourth studio album at Atlanta’s Big Trouble Studios, where he worked alongside producer/engineer TJ Elias (Manchester Orchestra, Summer Rental) with help from Dan Gleason and Benjamin Homola (Grouplove), Johnny Dang (O’brother, Hisself), and more. Tentatively titled “Orthodoxy,” this collection of songs reflects the changing worldviews of a husband and parent, the loss of faith, and the ways in which we try to rebuild it.
