Benny has played with some of the world’s finest musicians on Maui and while touring. Over the years, Benny has shared the stage with some of Hawaii’s greatest trailblazers like Uncle Willie K and Barry Flanagan of HAPA, as well as the world’s most talented jazz players, Les McCann, Russel Malone, and Donald Harrison. His versatility comes from years of musical study across different genres with mentors in classical, jazz, Hawaiian, Blues, and rock.

Jay Molina, a veteran of the Maui music scene, is a bass guitarist and vocalist who has performed with local bands such as Asian Blend, the jazz-fusion group Music Magic, and The Ali’i’s. Jay is best known for playing bass with his son, Andrew, a ukulele virtuoso, and traveling the world together as a father-son duo. Loving performing with his son, Jay says, “It’s very special. I never toured when I was younger, and I’m able to travel around the world with Andrew and have that special bond. We have so much fun on the road. I have fathers come up and say, ‘It must be so cool to play with your son.’ We just try to be ourselves and share the aloha spirit.”

Go for lunch, stay for music and hula!
