You will be hearing the new record and other tunes this evening.

MOLLY MLLER TRIO
The Molly Miller Trio is Molly Miller on guitar, Jennifer Condos (Don Henley, Steve Nick, Bruce Springsteen) on bass, and Jay Bellerose (Robert Plant, Allison Krauss, Elton John) on drums. Everything in Molly Miller’s career has come organically. The Los Angeles guitarist and songwriter has followed the path in front of her with a sense of curiosity and openness, proving that if you’re meant to do something, you’ll do it. From creating the Molly Miller Trio with Jennifer Condos and Jay Bellerose in 2016 to playing and touring with artists like Jason Mraz to teaching guitar at the University of Southern California, Molly brings a passion for music and a sophisticated, raw style to everything she does. In high school, she got into jazz, an obsession that continued into her years at USC, where she eventually earned her BA, MA, and Doctorate in Musical Arts. A few weeks after graduating in 2016, Jason Mraz asked Molly to play with him. The same year, she became the Guitar Department Chair at the Los Angeles College of Music. Since then, Molly has balanced performance and teaching, becoming a professor of Studio Jazz Guitar at USC in 2022. Along with Mraz, she’s played with artists such as the Black Eyed Peas, Zayn, Scary Pockets, Sin Bandera, and Pomplamoose at the Hollywood Bowl, Royal Albert Hall, and Coachella, and Molly Miller Trio has toured as an opening act for Mraz (catch them on tour this summer again opening for him) and performed at Monterey Jazz Festival, Dizzy’s at Lincoln Center, and SF Jazz.
