Lansdowne Folk Club Presents: Stephen DiJoseph and Emmett Drueding

Anything can happen when musician, composer and filmmaker Stephen DiJoseph enters a studio or takes the stage. Whether it’s the percussive grooves of his solo guitar and vocals, the quirk and funk of his trademark jazz/classical “Pianopoetry”, the trance-electronica of his ‘Whirld Music Trio’ project or the ease and flow of his ambient orchestral productions, it’s undeniable that DiJoseph is an artist of many skills.
