Molly Lewis will perform at Knust in Hamburg on October 4, 2025. She became known for mastering an art that most people only ever practice casually: whistling. But with her, it doesn’t sound like a simple walk-in-the-park melody — instead, it evokes bossa nova, classic Hollywood soundtracks, and a touch of dusty Western romanticism.

Bossa Nova and Western romanticism
Born in Australia and now based in Los Angeles, Lewis is part of the city’s avant-garde scene. Her debut album On The Lips, released in 2024, demonstrates just how versatile whistling can sound — at times soft and melancholic, at others light-footed and playful. She describes her music as an invitation into the atmosphere of a jazz club. Live, she manages to fill large spaces with minimal instrumentation, lifting her audience into a momentary escape from reality.
