SF 004 - Ric Molina, Guitarist/Legend

Summary: One of the secret passwords among professional guitarists in NYC is Ric Molina. After invoking his name, a mandatory 20 minute geek out/worship session is required. Ric is a master musician, storyteller, and motivator who also teaches ‘for fun.’ He has had an incredible career in NYC: book one guitarist in the broadway juggernaut Wicked, writing music for The Electric Company, and backing up artists like Andrea Boccelli, Mariah Carey, Marc Anthony, to name a few. Here, he tells some stories of funny interactions with idols like Santana and Joe Pass, road stories of when he MD’ed 98 degrees in the heyday of the boy band era and the definition of ‘show chops.’
