Stephane Wrembel | Songs from Studio B

Songs from Studio B is a News 8 WROC digital exclusive series dedicated to both showcasing Rochester’s incredible musical talent, as well as featuring artists who come through our town for shows.

This episode features Stephane Wrembel. We could not have asked for a better fit for our first touring artist. Stephane comes to Rochester at least once a year to visit and play. Ahead of his four-night residency at Lovin Cup (October 13-16), Stephane teamed up with some cats from Buffalo to play this wonderful set.

The tunes:
Big Brother: 00:00
Bistro Fada: 04:20
Apocalypse: 07:26
Prometheus: 12:55

For each episode, artists are tasked with presenting two “A-sides” and two “B-sides.” The A-sides are songs that you know from the artist: whether it’s their signature song, their most promoted song, or the one with the most airtime. The B sides are tunes near and dear to the heart of the artist, but don’t always get the public love they deserve. In this format, listeners can take in the favorites, and learn the deep cuts.

The band:
Stephane Wrembel – guitar
Joshua Assad – guitar
Kevin O'Brien – bass

This series is produced, recorded, and mixed by Dan Gross. He shot and edited this one, as well as serving as his own production assistant, which is probably not great for his rapidly aging back and knees.
