HEDVIG MOLLESTAD

Guitarist and composer Hedvig Mollestad has a formidable work ethic. In addition to her countless live shows and guest appearances over the years, she’s released seven studio albums with her acclaimed Hedvig Mollestad Trio since 2011, as well as another three records with expanded ensembles. Recently appearing as artist in-residence of the internationally prestigious Molde Jazz Festival, she’s back with a new collaboration Weejuns, which finds her exploring improvised music in the company of drummer Ole Mofjell and Motorpsycho/Elephant9 keyboardist, Ståle Storløkken. Clearly a musician who doesn’t like standing still, Prog finds out what motivates her.
