This week on The Music Room, we chatted with Jeremy Danneman to discuss his new album, “Honey Wine.” Jeremy, a Newark native, has appeared on The Music Room twice in the past. “Honey Wine” has been in the works since 2010, and it will be released on March 10th, 2017. Jeremy collaborated with Sophia Nzayisenga, one of the only female inanga players from Rwanda.
Jeremy is known for being quite unconventional. In 2009, instead of throwing himself a birthday party, he gave himself a parade. For 11 hours, he marched around the boroughs of New York City, playing his saxophone and welcoming anyone who wanted to join. Jeremy has also brought his music to Vietnam, Cambodia, and Rwanda, where he enjoys playing in local street markets. “Honey Wine,” according to Jeremy, contains elements of his international travels, with Western melodies.
