St\u00e9phane Wrembel comes to the Vilar March 31 with a slight lineup change in his quartet, due to previous quartet members having health issues, but he assures audiences they\u2019re in for the same high-quality performance, with one of the best guitar players in the world at the helm.<\/p>\n

Longtime drummer Nick Anderson will be there, and Quico, from Spain, joins Wrembel as the second guitarist, while bassist Erik Alvar, who played on Billy Strings\u2019 first EP, rounds out the quartet.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn stage is more than a collection of instruments; everyone has their own personality, and you need people who have similar chemistry. But because we\u2019re all unique human beings, the chemistry is always different, and you get a new result every time,\u201d Wrembel said.<\/p>\n\n\n

Raised in Fontainebleau, France, Wrembel grew up studying classical piano in the same town one of his main influences hailed from: Django Reinhardt. In his mid-teens, he discovered a passion for guitar and switched instruments while listening to the likes of Pink Floyd and other rock music, as well as the impressionistic feel in Reinhardt\u2019s music. Reinhardt, a Sinti, or Roma group from Western Europe, is regarded as one of the most influential musicians and composers throughout history. <\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up in an environment where there was a lot of history in art \u2014 and with the kings and French history and surrounded by gypsies and classical music. I respond to my upbringing. And although there is always something unique in each of us, and always something new because the world moves on and we move on with it, there is still a route that\u2019s there. So for me, it\u2019s important to celebrate my roots, the music of Django Reinhardt, the classical music, that sense of art and history, Impressionism, and also my journey on earth \u2014 moving to America, living in New York and learning jazz, the American art, and letting all that brew and naturally come out,\u201d Wrembel said.<\/p>\n
