"You always have to work hard, but you also have to feed your soul."
How do we balance mastery and play? External and internal validation? Focus on self and audience?
In this episode, Emmeline sits down with the legendary French jazz guitarist Stephane Wrembel to tackle these questions and more. Stephane talks about his time studying with the French gypsies, his experiences at the Berklee School of Music, and his time on tour with his band. He also brings some philosophy and mythology into his discussion about what it really means to be a musical artist--even citing Apollo and Dionysus! He and Emmeline also discuss the choices we make as musicians, and how those choices can help us shape our voice.
Stephane is on tour and will be in the DFW area on January 18th, 2025! Catch him at:
Zounds Sounds B-Side from 2-4 PM
Scat Jazz Lounge in Fort Worth at 8 PM and 10 PM
