BIO

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.

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.

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 thousands each year. 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.
