You may have seen him with Stevie Wonder or heard his signature sound on the last two Martin Scorsese films. Now catch urban jazz harmonicist Frédéric Yonnet live at the Carlyle Room in Washington, DC.
Yonnet’s harmonica is the haunting instrumental sound you hear in Martin Scorsese’s Netflix film The Irishman, and it’s the telling tune that evokes emotion in Scorsese’s latest film Killers of the Flower Moon – which is currently up for ten Oscars, including Best Music (Original Score). Yonnet has also been featured on numerous albums, films, and television shows, including The Wailers’ latest album, One Love, their first studio album in 25 years.
With each performance, stereotypical walls come tumbling down as Yonnet presents the harmonica in a refreshing and modern context. It’s stylish. It’s cool. It’s brilliant. His impressive style and electrifying stage presence have led to recordings, tours, and performances with a wide range of musicians, including Grammy Award winners and music icons Stevie Wonder and Prince, award-winning songwriter David Foster, UK sensation Ed Sheeran, pop-idols the Jonas Brothers, soul singers John Legend, Erykah Badu, Anthony Hamilton, John Mayer, and India.Aire, as well as The National Symphony Orchestra and The Dayton Philharmonics. Rolling Stone magazine referred to Yonnet as “Prince’s killer harmonica player,” and praise from other influencers affirms his mission to change the way music enthusiasts and the industry regard the “pocket” instrument.
