Presentation:
Molly Bán is Alexzandra and Ulrika collaborating with different
talented Swedish musicians.
Alexzandra is writing songs from her heart and taking in all that she
experiences daily as a way to get good or bad things off her chest, or,
into!
Since she´s brought up on a farm, in the manor house´s possess,
far from nearest city and close to the sea, she has a strong connection
to the nature. She got both a guitar and a piano at the age of 5 and learned
the first notes on piano with help from her mom, and started strumming
some chords with her dad.
Born into a family where her dad played banjo and her mom mandolin she
had all the possibilities to get to learn more about the beautiful music
that brings so much joy and comfort to so many people worldwide! The Bluegrass
and Country music filled the house day and night! And what could be better
than listening to Emmylou or Dolly filling the air with their soft voices.
It didn´t take many tunes before she sang along!
Also Ulrika took her first steps on green grass, (that now has become
blue) in Karlstad and spent lots of time dancing in the well-known "Gundega
Ballet". Ulrika is brought up with all our Swedish folksongs. She
spends all her time dancing, singing and performing, since she also can
be seen in different musicals in Sweden.
In some ways our traditional music is much alike Bluegrass and Country.
This is music that makes you want to dance and it´s a get-together-music
as well as being-alone-music, thinking things through, getting to know
yourself! The mix of old time music and their own nature-based backgrounds
brings something strong and true!

The duo was formed in 2008, but the strong friendship got started much
earlier, back in 2001. They both wanted to see the big city, to meet people
with the same yearn for being a part of something big, being a part of
music.
So at the age of 15 two young ladies from different parts of Sweden prepared
their journey to the big city to study music at the Stockholm Music Conservatory.
They had so much to talk about from the very first second they met! They
started playing together with a band and soon they got the chance to play
on the bigger scenes in Stockholm. When school was over they went separate
ways, still keeping their contact.
Learning about life, trying their wings on different music and dancing
schools and on different part-time jobs. But as soon as the studying was
finished in Gothenburg, and Ulrika headed for the musical scenes in Stockholm,
they naturally thought that this was an opportunity to get back working
together.
Alexzandra, who spends her days and nights in the studio, had it all rigged
up for some recording, and here they are, Molly Bán!
