Host
Gabriel Wheaton, violinist extraordinaire, will play Irish (it is St. Patrick's day!), bossa nova, Grappelli-style hot club jazz, 60's acoustic to Appalachian. He will be joined by Sophie Ruehr with her smooth voice and nylon guitar. Further accompaniment will come from a lush, cinematic swell of strings from Gabriel's looped violin. In other words, he fuses together traditional folk genres from across the world.
What does looped mean?
Looped in music refers to the recorded repetition of a musical phrase or section, creating a continuous musical texture. The idea behind looping is to build up multiple layers of sound, allowing the musician to create complex arrangements in real-time.
Using this technique, Gabriel creates a rich orchestral sound palette ranging from fiery and engaging to mellow and relaxing. Gabriel was classically trained, studying composition at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and graduating from UCLA Summa Cum Laude with a BA in Music Composition.
Sophie is a Ph.D. candidate at University of California Berkeley Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management who also just happens to write songs for jazz guitar and regularly performs in the Bay Area. Our good fortune!
Enjoy their debut album "Sleeping Through Paradise" available on most music platforms.
