Professional musician, composer, arranger, and overall upstanding citizen, Stuart Bogie (@stuartbogie), is this week's guest. Since the early 2000's Mr Bogie has been a mainstay in the Brooklyn music scene. His full discography is too lengthy to mention in full, but he's recorded or played live with everyone from Antibalas to TV On The Radio to Arcade Fire. Most recently, he contributed to new releases by Hamilton Leithauser and Run The Jewels.
We met Mr Bogie down in New Orleans as part of the Krewe Du Kanaval festivities for Mardi Gras. It was a different time and place. Dancing, drinking, hanging with new and old friends, live music. February 2020, pre-COVID. A friendship was made that allowed for this great convo to take place. We start off with our memories from that amazing weekend and also discuss: Stu's musical education, coming up in the NYC & Brooklyn music scene of the 2000's, working at Niagara, Fela Kuti, his contributions to some of NYC's most seminal bands, post show rituals, his daily Clarinet Concerts, creativity during COVID, and how the pandemic has brought to light economic realities of being a professional musician. If you're a music nerd you're gonna love this convo!
