The band
The Molly Higgins Band is a dynamic quartet whose diverse background and dedication to their craft captivates audiences with their own renditions of traditional Irish and Scottish music.
Fiddle player and Boston native, Sam Cole grew up playing music alongside his father in the Cole family band. He draws from a broad musical background that includes Irish, bluegrass, gypsy jazz, and classical music. Marcos Hanech is a self-taught guitarist who began his musical journey spending hours practicing at his childhood home in Brazil. Inspired by his favorite heavy metal bands, as well as traditional Brazilian music, he brings contagious energy, rhythmic drive, and a wide range of texture to Molly Higgins Band. Whistle player and classically trained oboist, Andrew Jacobson has performed with symphonies around the world and now brings that highly trained expertise to the band on tin whistle. Rounding out the quartet is bodhrán player Lala Mackey was born and raised in southeast Asia and moved to Colorado in 2016. After playing drums on cardboard boxes throughout her childhood, she got her first drum set in 2017 and learned every style of music she could find. With Irish being her favorite, Lala purchased her first bodhrán in 2021. She currently works as a full time drummer going wherever the music calls her.
Within Molly Higgins Band, a rich tapestry of influences converge to honor the heritage of traditional Celtic Music. Radio appearances and live performances across the Front Range have garnered a dedicated following as they engage audiences with their passion, polished musicianship, and musical camaraderie.
