Stephane Wrembel is quite simply one of the finest guitar players around. The breadth and range of his playing and compositions are truly amazing. While heavily influenced by Django Reinhardt, his music incorporates jazz, blues, classical, swing, flamenco and rock. Wrembel has headlined Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, The Town Hall in NYC and The Lyon Opera House in France, toured with master violinist Mark O’Connor and shared stages with everyone from Sam Bush, Stochelo Rosenberg, Esperanza Spalding, and Al Di Meola. He has toured Canada, France, Israel, UK, India and Nigeria. Born in Paris and raised in Fontainebleau, the home of Impressionism and Django Reinhardt, Wrembel first studied classical piano. But in his mid-teens, he discovered that he had an affinity for guitar, found out about Django and fell in love with his music. In 2002, he released his debut album, “Introducing Stephane Wrembel” to wide critical acclaim. Wrembel moved to New York in 2003. Between 2005 and 2021, Stephane released 16 further albums, which have all garnered rave reviews including coverage in Jazz Times, Downbeat, and more. Oscar-winning director Woody Allen used one of Stephanes tracks, “Big Brother,” in his 2008 film “Vicky Cristina Barcelona.” Wrembel’s breakthrough came with his original composition “Bistro Fada,” that became the theme song for Woody Allen’s 2011 Oscar-winning film, “Midnight In Paris.” It was included on the Grammy®-winning soundtrack for the film. Wrembel performed the irresistibly catchy “Bistro Fada” live during the 2012 Academy Awards ceremony with an all-star ensemble led by Hans Zimmer. Stephane Wrembel has truly made his mark as one of the most original guitar voices in contemporary music.
