Santa Clara native Molly Tuttle will headline a New Year’s Eve concert tonight at The Guild Theatre in Menlo Park. 

Tuttle, who grew up in Santa Clara and Palo Alto and has earned major acclaim in the bluegrass and Americana world, is topping off a big year with a 9:30 p.m. celebration performance to usher in 2026. 

She is a Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and flat-picking guitar ace.

The show is part of her Bay Area appearances around the holidays. It comes after a run of dates in support of her latest music and follows her Grammy success, where she won Best Bluegrass Album early in her career. 

Fans can expect Tuttle’s signature mix of virtuosic guitar work, evocative songwriting and genre-blending tunes as she takes the stage for one of the Bay Area’s marquee New Year’s Eve events. 

Doors open late evening, and the party moves through midnight with live music, making it a must-see for local music lovers looking to start 2026 with a hometown star leading the way.

When: Dec. 31, 2025 — 9:30 p.m.

Tuttle’s rise from local Santa Clara stages to Grammy-winning artist brings a hometown spotlight to an end-of-the-year Bay Area celebration.
