The Fragrants

The Fragrants are a new instrumental funk collaborative led by John Munson (The New Standards, Semisonic) and comprised of highly regarded groove loving players from the Twin Cities music scene, with Max Ray (The Wallets) on saxophone, Jacques Wait (The Boot R and B, Matt Wilson) on guitar, Sarah Burk (noted local jazz pianist) on organ and Richard Medek (Eric Koskinen) on drums. The band takes their cues from The Meters, Booker T and the MGs, Grant Green and Eddie Harris, among others, and always aim to get people onto their feet and dancing.
