MOLLY MOSER

Some of my earliest memories are of sitting by the stereo, finger hovering over the record button, trying to capture my favorite radio hits on cassette. I’d spend hours rewinding and twirling those tiny wheels, replaying songs until the tape wore out.  

My mother introduced me to hard rock. My father introduced me to Motown. 

Like any other kid or teenager, I played music ALL the time. Then came CDs, and every day after school, I’d be out on the trampoline, blasting my favorite hits, smacking the CD player every time it froze. My energy thrived off of lyrics, melody and guitar solos.

I spent eight years in choir during my teen years, performing everything from classical arrangements to the National Anthem at San Francisco Giants' games. At 15, I picked up a guitar for the first time, learning “Greensleeves” and later writing an essay on Led Zeppelin (my favorite band in high school) that earned me an A+. Haha.

Though I detoured into a decade-long journalism career – where I earned six awards for my storytelling – my dream of making music never left me.

Now, I’ve found my way back to who I’ve always been. Inspired by artists – from Stevie Nicks to Janis Joplin, and Ann Wilson – to Taylor Momsen, Liz Phair, Michelle Branch, Lzzy Hale, Dorothy, and James Hetfield – I'm drawn to creating sounds that blends rock, blues, and outlaw vibes into something deeply personal yet universal. My music is raw and healing – a space where I bend the rules to bring a sense of joy and freedom.

I made my debut at A to Zen open mic nights in Carson City, Nevada, performing both solo and with Canyon White, host of Canyon Club, which airs on KNVC 96.1 FM. I also play in River Rogue, a cover band based in Schurz, Nevada, that feels like a second family.

In 2024, I attended Andrea Stolpe’s songwriting retreat, where I connected with musicians from all walks of life who continue to inspire me. Above all, my biggest supporter has always been my mother and father – who taught me to dream big and never stop reaching for the stars.

Don't get me wrong though - I totally want to experiment with producing EDM at some point (all I need is BASS!).
