The Mollys

For most of their run, their members were Nancy McCallion, Catherine Zavala, Kevin Schramm, Dan Sorenson and Gary Mackender.

[2][3] In the Village Voice in 2000, Don Allred wrote that "Tucson, Arizona’s Mollys ARE TexMexistential Celtic Country Polka - which...has usually added up to 'Rock’n’Roll by Other Means.

"[5] In the Washington Post in 1996, Greg Himes wrote that "[Nancy McCallion] rivals Lucinda Williams and Iris DeMent as one of the finest Americana songwriters of the '90s and she deserves a comparable reputation...".

[3][6][10][11] Circa 2000, Zavala and Mackender, having tired of touring, left the band, and Danny Krieger (guitar) and Marx Loeb (drums) joined.

[15] However, through 2012, the band's longest-serving five members tended to perform an annual reunion concert in Tucson, typically around St. Patrick's Day or on Halloween, one of which resulted in an additional (live) album.

[31][32] In March 2024, to celebrate both St. Patrick and the late Shane MacGowan of The Pogues, McCallion organized several performances of Irish music in Tucson, which included herself, Catherine Zavala, Dan Sorensen, and others.
