Nashville based duo, Me and Molly was formed in 2015 by Molly Stevens and Declan McGarry. McGarry and Stevens have been writing songs together for years and playing around the Canada and the U.S. building separate fan bases. It wasn’t until a well-known producer in Nashville suggested they get together and form a duo that either of them really thought about it. “He told us we have a really unique sound together and a natural chemistry in our writing and performing,” says McGarry. “It just made sense. We had the songs, our voices blended great and we were good friends”.
On their own they have achieved some impressive feats. McGarry was one of four artists nominated in 2012 for the CCMA New Artist Showcase. He was singled out by MusicRow Magazine founder David M. Ross who wrote “There were lots of interesting talents that took the stage but the one that caught my ears with stage presence, voice and interesting original songs was Declan McGarry.” In 2013 and 2014 Stevens played CMA Fest in Nashville. She has opened up for acts such as the Indigo Girls, Sonia Leigh, Zac Brown Band, Jamie Johnson.
In the short time since forming the duo, Me and Molly has opened for acts such as the Dirty Guv’nahs, Angie Aparo, Griffin House, and Natalie Stovall.
McGarry and Stevens’ command of the stage has been honed individually through years of hard work on the road. Their songs are both thoughtful and charming, honest and thought-provoking. “I think it works because we both brought something different to the table,” says Molly. “And we both come from different influences and backgrounds which is what makes our musical style so unique.”
