What can we say? This is probably one of our better and funnier shows! On this episode we talk with guitarist Dave Stryker and arranger/conductor Brent Wallarab about their most recent collaboration called “Stryker with Strings Goes to the Movies”.

Dave is an incredible guitarist and Brent is an amazing arranger. Pair those two with a top notch rhythm section, an enviable trombone section and a 17 piece string orchestra (led by the one and only Sara Caswell!) and the end product is something really spectacular!

Enjoy our fun conversation and the incredible music we play on this episode of Have You Heard!

Thanks for listening!
