French-born guitarist/composer Stephane Wrembel is preparing to release his brand new studio album, Origins, on May 15, 2012. Anticipation is high for this new release by the young virtuoso. For his recent visit to WNYC’s “Soundcheck” Studios with John Schaeffer, Wrembel and his band performed songs from Origins.  Click here for live video and audio from the WNYC session. Stephane Wrembel tours this spring/summer in support of the album release.  

He’s been called “a revelation” by Rolling Stone. Woody Allen recruited him to score the theme for last year’s smash film Midnight in Paris, and he performed his original song “Bistro Fada” live at this year’s Academy Awards ceremony. Wrembel’s playing is “blinding fast and relentlessly graceful” (The Daily Gazette) and his compositions are full of “soulful lyricism and melodic flair” (Washington Post).

The current list of confirmed shows and lots of other great information can be found at www.stephanewrembel.com.  

For the past decade, Jam Cruise has been delivering a musical experience like no other.  Whether it's listening to a late night pool deck performance while sitting in a hot tub, hanging with 100 of your closest friends on a private tropical beach, delivering pallets of donated shoes to smiling children in need, or chatting with one of your musical heroes while you’re eating dinner - Jam Cruise is full of moments when you can't help but stop and ask yourself "is this really happening?"  But yes, it is happening, and it's what has kept fans coming back again and again for over ten years. 

Picked as a favorite by The Travel Channel in their US Music Festival Guide, Jam Cruise offers more than just a music festival. “By taking the music to the seas, Jam Cruise makes the music festival a full-blown vacation.
