Stephane Wrembel & His Band
Perform Select Dates This Winter

Stephane Wrembel’s Original Theme Song
For Woody Allen’s New Film Midnight In Paris
Tops The Charts

Look For Wrembel to Release New Album This Spring

French–born guitar virtuoso Stephane Wrembel - whose original theme song for Woody Allen’s smash hit Midnight in Paris is currently topping charts – announces stops in select markets this winter.  For these one-off shows, Wrembel - who has been called “a revelation” (Rolling Stone) embodying "a John Coltrane-ish search for a moment of musical nirvana” (Variety) – will be backed by his band: Roy Williams on guitar, David Speranza on bass, Nick Anderson on drums, and David Langlois on washboard and percussion.

  Find the complete list of currently confirmed tour dates listed below. 

Stephane Wrembel was recently commissioned (for the second time) by famed filmmaker Woody Allen to compose an original theme song for his new film Midnight In Paris. The resulting tune, entitled “Bistro Fada,” is a favorite on the soundtrack, which peaked at #1 on iTunes’ Soundtracks Chart for two weeks, and is at #20 and climbing on iTunes’ Album Chart. The success of the soundtrack and film has brought Stephane’s music, and his astonishing talent, to a worldwide audience. Check out this video of “Bistro Fada” performed at Barbes in Brooklyn, NY in Fall 2011.

All of this comes just as Wrembel’s wildly popular Django A Go-Go Festival wraps up. The very special musical event – which features numerous guest musicians from all over the world - celebrates the life and music of fellow Frenchman Django Reinhardt.  For 2012, Django A Go-Go expanded beyond New York City’s Joe’s Pub for the first time since it’s inaugural event seven years ago, hitting several neighboring markets.

What audiences might not yet know is the breadth of Wrembel’s musical inspiration, and his vision on where it will take his music next. Look for Stephane Wrembel to release his fifth studio album, and embark on a nationwide tour, later this year.

About Stephane Wrembel:
One could call Stephane Wrembel a nomad, a gypsy, a world traveler, for the music he plays and his lifestyle are expressions of the Gypsy way of life. 

Born in Paris and raised in Fontainebleau, home of impressionism and Django Reinhardt's music, Wrembel was classically trained in a music conservatory starting at age four. Stephane's life took a decisive turn in his late teens when he first discovered the music of Django Reinhardt and the Gypsies. He spent the next ten years of his life learning, playing, and expanding on this musical tradition. This hard work gave Wrembel the technique, but the time spent playing around the campfires and trailers of the Gypsies gave him the soul - both necessary ingredients for him to master his art form. Stephane's education continued at the Berklee School of Music where after studying contemporary jazz and world music he graduated summa cum-laude. Soon after he moved to New York City to live and continue his career. Like New York, Stephane is always in motion, always searching and never stopping in his quest for a new sound.
