Andrew Joslyn started playing the violin at age five. Today he is our guest on this episode. In-between Andrew has accomplished more than most people twice his age.
This conversation covers Andrew’s start at age five learning the violin and growing up in a family of well known and established classical musicians to his most recent project as Curator/Orchestrator for the Essential Series by the Seattle Symphony. His most recent show in the series is with Nancy Wilson of Heart with the Seattle Symphony on July 9, 2021.
Throughout the conversation Andrew shares stories about his musical career including his time in the band Handful of Lovin’ and as the Orchestral Director for Macklemore including going on four world tours. Andrew is also a National Trustee for The Recording Academy (The Grammy Awards)
In addition Andrew has participated in over 400 commercial recordings, worked as the film composer for multiple Hollywood films, contributes music to some of the most popular podcasts and acts as the manager and arranger for Passenger String Quartet.
We chat about his favorite venues to play. There is an honorable mention to a surprise Seattle location that you will have to listen to find out about. His story about El Corazon is hysterical. Find his recommendations for coffee and more.
This was so much fun for me, and I know you will enjoy learning more about Andrew and all his musical contributions.
