Mollies delight with folk jazz: a top-class concert!
On June 16, 2025, there was a lot of excitement in the chapel room: the band team invited the folk-jazz-pop band “The Mollies” to a rousing concert. Over 50 attendees gathered to listen to the sounds of the quartet, who have been performing together for an impressive 35 years. The band members Michaela Homann-Speck, Inge-Sophie Lorenzen, Simone Reifegerste and Volker Linde are not only a well-rehearsed team musically; They also share many common experiences off stage, including social eating and drinking.
“The Mollies” offer a colorful repertoire. From Low German cover songs to gospel songs to your own compositions, all of which are in the folk-jazz style, there is something for everyone. Between the musical pieces, personal anecdotes from the band's life were told, which further lightened the atmosphere of the evening. The combination of traditional folk music and jazz, known as folk jazz, has its origins in the 1950s and is a vibrant style that impresses with richly textured songs - an aspect that was also noticeable at this concert. Information about this can be found at: Wikipedia, which illustrates how artists like Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell shaped this unique style of music.
Diverse talent and commitment
The individual members of the band bring a wide range of musical experience. Michaela Homann-Speck, a mezzo-soprano, is known for her performances in various jazz bands in Schleswig-Holstein. Volker Linde, the ensemble's multi-instrumentalist, inspires several genres of music with his skills on guitar, mandolin and accordion. Simone Reifegerste and Inge-Sophie Lorenzen complement the ensemble with their powerful voices, with Reifegerste also working as a singing teacher.
With a total of 8 children, 2 cats and 2 dogs in the band, the band is characterized not only by their musical spirit, but also by their animal and family solidarity. The members travel from different regions - North Frisia, Ostholstein and Berlin - to rehearsals and performances, which underlines their communal spirit. The combination of multifacetedness and harmonious singing ensures an intense sound experience that offers both melancholic and spirited moments.
An unforgettable evening
The musicians thrilled the audience with several encores and left a lasting impression. The successful event, characterized by the band and the enthusiastic audience, strengthens the anticipation for the next concert. Because “The Mollies” plan to return again in 2026 and enchant their loyal listeners with new sounds. We can't wait to see what musical surprises they will bring with them.
