Press Release 2-15-2023
After a series of fantastic shows in 2022, Molly Nova and the Hawks have made some major changes to their lineup. Bryce Janey has moved on to concentrate on his solo projects with 
SouthwestStudios and Grooveyard Records. A big thanks to Bryce for helping to launch this project to get Molly back on stage! After a search of available guitarists in Eastern Iowa, we feel we have hit the jackpot with Evan Stock. Evan has had a major impact on the local Cedar Rapids music scene, both as a recording Studio Coordinator at Eastern Iowa Arts Academy, and fronting his own successful Evan Stock Band. We have also added Vinny Benyshek as our utility guy on bass and guitar duties. His band Vinny & The Night Prowlers has been on the Eastern Iowa music scene for a while now, and we are excited to cut him loose on our sweet rockin' roots 'n blues!
