Singer Molly Hebert-Wilson graduated in May 2011 with degrees in Irish studies and musical theater from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. She remains a member of NYU’s Irish Folk Group at Ireland House and teaches Irish to children in Brooklyn.

With almost thirty theater productions to her lifelong credit, Molly imbues Irish, French and English-language songs with every ounce of character and meaning, comedic to tragic.  She is also a vocal coach, preparing children for performance at festivals in the northeast and Canada.

Performing with noted Franco-American fiddler and teacher Donna Hébert, Molly sings in the Mist Covered Mountains trio with her and guitarist Max Cohen. On a recent tour in Québec, Molly fronted the band in French and studied Québecois gigue with Pierre Chartrand. She is working on a debut vocal CD of Celtic music for release in Spring 2012.
