Molly & the Heymakers was an American country music group formed in 1987. The band consisted of Martha "Molly" Scheer (lead vocals, fiddle, mandolin, rhythm guitar), Andy Dee (lead guitar), Jeff Nelson (bass guitar), Joe Lindzius (drums) and Chad "C.J." Udeen (steel guitar). Their highest charting single, "Chasin' Something Called Love," peaked at No. 50 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in 1991; it was included on their self-titled debut album, issued in 1992 on Reprise Records. Molly's current touring group is called Molly and the Danger Band and features no original members from Molly & the Heymakers, due to lineup changes.

In 1998, Molly Scheer and Andy Dee, along with Rick Berger (bass guitar) and Scott Tate (drums), released an album of harder-edged material under the moniker known as "Molly & The Makers." The music on this album featured a mixture of styles including Alt.country, Cowpunk, Country, folk rock, Rock and Roll, Alternative rock, rock, power pop, punk rock, Garage punk, indie rock and indie pop. The album received mixed reviews around the world, partly due to its heavier sound, which alienated some fans of traditional country music. Scheer noted in the liner notes that the effort was a "departure from our 'Heymaker' style;" the music was less country than previous releases.
