Hedvig Mollestad Trio

Explosive jazz rock with stoner and progressive influences

Hedvig Mollestad Trio

Mollestad’s musical signature grew out of her love for diverse styles and is often described as a unique fusion of jazz and rock. On their eighth album Bees in the Bonnet, the Hedvig Mollestad Trio once again explores the tension between stoner, jazz, prog rock, and psychedelia. With their characteristic tight interplay, powerful energy, and playful approach, the trio has delivered another impressive album and is ready to bring it to the stage live.

Since the founding of HM3 in 2009, the band has grown into an internationally acclaimed trio, earning awards, rave reviews, and touring extensively across Europe and North America. After a break of nearly four years, Bees in the Bonnet sounds energetic and fresh. The renewed collaboration with bassist Ellen Brekken and drummer Ivar Loe Bjørnstad results in an album that is both challenging and accessible. Influences from Terje Rypdal, Rush, ZZ Top, and Motorpsycho can be heard, without the band losing its own identity. With singles like Golden Griffin, Lamament, and Bob’s Your Giddy Aunt, HM3 reaffirms its reputation as a band that combines virtuosity with a sense of playfulness.
