AWARD WINNING SAXOPHONIST SEBA MOLNAR BRINGS HIS BAND
TO MUSIC HALL LOUNGE, FRIDAY MAY29

PORTSMOUTH, NH — Award-winning saxophonist, composer, and cultural organizer Seba
Molnar brings his all star band to the Music Hall Lounge on Friday, May 29 for an evening of
boundary-pushing contemporary jazz, improvisation, and groove-driven exploration. The
performance will feature Molnar on saxophone alongside Billy Buss on trumpet, Jiri Nedoma on
keyboards, Mike Gary on bass, and Tyson Jackson on drums.

More than a traditional jazz group, the Seba Molnar Band is a vibrant, multidimensional
collective rooted in Boston’s creative music community. While deeply grounded in jazz tradition,
the band stretches beyond stylistic boundaries, drawing influence from funk, hip-hop,
psychedelic rock, and global music traditions to create an immersive and genre-defying live
experience. Their performances balance adventurous improvisation with powerful grooves and
cinematic textures, inviting audiences into new sonic territory.

Molnar released his debut album Level Up in 2020, and his latest project, J.F.R., is an
experimental reflection on today’s political and cultural climate, blending free jazz, spoken word,
and curated samples into a bold, multidimensional statement on contemporary life.

Originally from Canton, New York, Molnar moved to Boston in 2012 to study at Berklee College
of Music, where he trained with renowned saxophonists George Garzone, Bill Pierce, and Tia
Fuller. Since then, he has emerged as an in-demand performer and collaborator, sharing stages
with acclaimed artists including Patrice Rushen, Ghost-Note, Keyon Harrold, Braxton Cook,
Makaya McCraven, Debo Ray, Farayi Malek, and many more.

Beyond performing, Molnar is the founder and executive director of the Boston Jazz Foundation
and co-founder of the Charles River Jazz Festival, which has rapidly become one of Boston’s
leading jazz events, drawing more than 5,000 attendees in 2025. Through performance,
education, and community engagement, Molnar and his collaborators remain committed to
expanding access to jazz while helping shape the future of Boston’s cultural landscape.

The May 29 performance at the Music Hall Lounge promises an evening of adventurous music,
deep improvisation, and forward-thinking artistry from some of New England’s most exciting
contemporary musicians.
