Stephen Buzzell's musical compositions meld breathtaking melodies and groove. A New England-based artist who studied at Berklee College of Music, his compositions evoke a wide array of settings and eras, from the 1920's to the Mississippi Delta and urban streets. Stephen has written music for TV and film, including the soundtrack for a documentary that debuted at the Telluride Film Festival to critical acclaim. Having been called a "musician's musician," he favors the warmth and quality of live instruments over synth tracks and loops.
