Stephane Wrembel: This Sunday at the Carriage House Café — Jazz guitarist Stephane Wrembel has been called a “revelation” by Rolling Stone. You’ll probably agree if you’ve heard Wrembel’s composition “Bistro Fada,” the lithe and capricious theme song for Woody Allen’s Academy Award-winning film Midnight in Paris. Having been under the tutelage of Gypsies in the French countryside, Wrembel is well-versed in myriad musical instruments and styles. Touches of flamenco, rock and blues infuse his jazz recordings, particularly on his latest album, Origins. Wrembel delves deep into his roots and shares his impressionistic songs at the Carriage House this Sunday. Tickets can be purchased for $20 at the door. — Daveen Koh ’13
