The Mollys was an American folk-rock quintet influenced by Celtic and Tejano music, based in Tucson, Arizona. For most of their run, their members were Nancy McCallion, Catherine Zavala, Kevin Schramm, Dan Sorenson and Gary Mackender.[1] They self-released several albums since 1992. Craig Harris of Allmusic called them "one of the contemporary folk music's most eclectic bands."[2] As of 2013, the band tended to perform one annual reunion concert, typically around St. Patrick's Day or on Halloween.[3][4]
