Clandestine

In this episode of Creative Guts, co-hosts Laura Harper Lake and Sarah Wrightsman sit down with two members of the band Clandestine, Chris Salemme and Andrew Emanuel. Clandestine is a New Hampshire based jazz band that formed in 2018, whose four members met through the music program at the University of New Hampshire. Along with being in Clandestine, both Chris and Andrew work on individual music projects as well.

Through this interview, you’ll learn about how Clandestine chooses the songs they play, the pitfalls of the music industry, and even how jazz gets a bad rep and what Clandestine is doing to change that perception with their music. The two musicians discuss what it’s like booking shows as an instrumental band, Andrew reveals the reason why he sometimes played shows shirtless, and Chris shares the origin story of the band.
