Jesse Carey Molloy (born April 29, 1975)[1][2][3] is an American saxophone player and music producer originating from Ashland, Oregon. He is currently based in Los Angeles.
At the age of nine, Molloy was at a local church with his family and saw a man playing Amazing Grace on the saxophone. This inspired him to also want to play the instrument, and his parents got him an alto saxophone the following Christmas.[4] Molloy received private lessons and also played in his high school's band.
Molloy graduated from Southern Oregon University in 2001[1] and after college joined a soul-jazz group based in San Diego, California. The group toured frequently and averaged about 150 shows a year. He later relocated to San Diego full time and began playing with several local bands and touring groups before moving to Los Angeles. Molloy did some shows with T-Boz from the group TLC as well as Mike Posner.[4] He was a long time touring member of the group The Pink Floyd Experience. Since 2009, he has been a member of the production duo Crush Effect with David Veith.[5][6][7][8] Molloy began touring with Panic! at the Disco in 2017.[9]
In 2017, Molloy was recruited by The Midnight to play the saxophone at the band's first-ever live show in San Francisco.[10][11] He continued to played saxophone for most of the band's live shows up until the Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 Tour. Molloy played the saxophone on the song Deep Blue from The Midnight's 2020 album Monsters. This was his first time playing saxophone for the band on a studio release. Later in 2020, he contributed to the band's EP Horror Show, co-writing the song Good in Red and playing the saxophone on Because The Night. In 2022, Molloy played saxophone on the track Brooklyn. Friday. Love. from the album Heroes.[12]

Lyrics
Remember Steve? He's such a thief
He stole your heart and promised he would never leave
And Stephanie, oh, what a tease
We fell in love and then we turned to frenemies
Remember Rob was on his job
Until you caught him talking with your best friend?
And then there was Simone, I shoulda known
She stuck around a minute, then the next, she's gone
But you're the one that got away, ran away
When they thought that you would stay down
I guess we both needed a change and it saved the day
Found a way out
Girl, we've seen it all between you and I
Exes so lame, they got no shame
If they ever run into you and I
They should apologize
Remember Paul? He's dark and tall
And handsome, but he ends up playing you for a fool
And I won't even mention Ella, I could write a whole novella
About the way she caught an attitude
But you're the one that got away, ran away
When they thought that you would stay down
I guess we both needed a change and it saved the day
Found a way out
Girl, we've seen it all between you and I
Exes so lame, they got no shame
And if they ever run into you and I
They should apologize
I was lost, now I found you
I was lost, now I found you
But you're the one that got away, ran away
When they thought that you would stay down
I guess we both needed a change and it saved the day
Found a way out
Girl, we've seen it all between you and I
Exes so lame, they got no shame
If they ever run into you and I
They should apologize
I was lost (I was lost), now I found you
And I don't know what I would manage to do
I was lost (I was lost), now I found you
And I don't know what I would manage to do without you
God only knows the type of things we've been through
And I don't know what I would manage to do without you

Red, White and Bruised: The Midnight Live is the first live album by The Midnight. It was initially released on April 22, 2023, exclusively to independent record stores as part of Record Store Day 2023[1] before getting a widespread release on September 1, 2023.[2]
Background
On February 13, 2023, a short soundbite of Tyler Lyle from a live show was shared to the band's socials, with a cryptic date of February 16 given.[3] On that day, Red, White, and Bruised: The Midnight Live was officially announced with a small trailer and was slated for release on April 22, exclusively on vinyl through independent record stores as part of Record Store Day 2023.[4] The songs on the album were recorded throughout various shows during The Midnight's 2022 tours in North America and Europe.
1300 copies of Red, White, and Bruised: The Midnight Live were pressed across three different colors - red, white, and blue - with the color not being known until opening the record.[5][6] The album was promoted with a live acoustic performance by Lyle at Criminal Records in Atlanta, GA on the day of release.[7][8] It was hinted that the album would be made available again at some point in the future.[8][9]
On August 15, 2023, it was revealed that Red, White, and Bruised: The Midnight Live would have a full release on all platforms on September 1.[2] Heroes was released as a single from the album on the same day and was accompanied by a corresponding live music video. In addition to vinyl, the album was also available in cassette form for the first time. The digital and cassette versions contain eight new tracks in addition to the eight included on the original vinyl release.
