Molly Ringwald’s jazz album Except Sometimes came out in 2013. But Molly Ringwald is still working the material, including performing live in jazz venues.
Molly Ringwald recently spoke to Diablo Magazine ahead of a February gig about how she ended up singing jazz.
“I was born in Roseville [California] and grew up in Sacramento until I was about 10. My father, Bob, was a traditional jazz musician and he was instrumental in starting the Sacramento Traditional Jazz Festival—organizing and performing this great festival. That’s a great festival, which still exists, I have fond memories of going to it in Old Sacramento. It always very festive and there was music everywhere. In fact, I was one of the first guest stars of that festival, when I was four years old.”
Although Molly Ringwald is best known as a op culture icon from the 1980s, she says that jazz music permeated her childhood.
“We listened to jazz, all the time, in the house. All my early musical influences were jazz. Looking back it was an incredible experience to have that kind of musical education at a young age.”
