2018 from Molly Hanmer & the Midnight Tokers, an LA-based modern Americana band, infused with psychedelic folk, rock and blues. MHMT spent 2017 recording their debut album Stuck in a Daydream with producer Marvin Etzioni (co-founder of Lone Justice) and engineer-mixer Sheldon Gomberg, a two-time Grammy winner. The dream team was complete when legendary engineer Joe Gastwirt agreed to master the album. When asked to describe Molly, as an artist, producer Marvin Etzioni said this InchMolly Hanmer has a voice of her own. As a singer-songwriter she's in the league of Sandy Denny. And in the words of Chuck Berry, she can play a guitar just like a ringin' a bell. Go go, go, Molly, go. She wears her influences on her sleeve well, from Dylan to Shakey Graves. Her debut album is something to look forward to experiencing.Inch
