==Early life==
Mollie O'Brien was born October 25, 1952 and raised in Wheeling, West Virginia, where she was the second youngest of five siblings. Her family was immersed in music,〔 and her mother frequently drove Mollie and her younger brother Tim to local performances 〔 by 1960s〔 musicians such as The Beatles, Wheeling Symphony, Count Basie, Dave Brubeck and Ray Charles.〔
She has stated her brother bringing home the Ray Charles album ''What'd I Say'' was influential, and she loved music on AM radio such as "The tail end of doo wop, all that stuff in the '60s you still got to hear before the total transformation of pop music that decimated those people. I soaked up everything."〔 At a young age she sang along with the Lawrence Welk show, and at age 11, learned to play piano and sing "Anchors Away" in tribute to her older brother, then a Naval Academy midshipman.〔
O'Brien attended Catholic schools.〔 In highschool, she and her brother Tim began playing Peter, Paul, and Mary songs as a duo at church and local coffeehouses.〔 She also began listening more avidly to singers such as Joni Mitchell, Bonnie Raitt, Dinah Washington and Frank Sinatra.〔 After several years as a folk duo, Tim moved to Denver, Colorado to join the bluegrass group Hot Rize.〔 She moved to New York City for 4 years, then back to Wheeling WV for 2 years before finally settling in Colorado in 1980.〔
