Stephen Magnusson was joint winner of the National Jazz Awards for Guitar in 2000. In 2022 Stephen is one of the three Judges in this years National Jazz Awards – the 4th time that Guitar has been the featured instrument.
Stephen spoke about being gifted a Ukulele when he was only 3 years of age, an instrument that he viewed at the time as his ‘guitar’, and then receiving a guitar when he was 6 – and the thrill of immediately being able to make the same guitar sounds as he heard on the radio!
Stephen discussed the draw of the awards as a great opportunity to play with an awesome band while performing at the top or your craft – with the potential to win a great prize.
The Wangaratta Festival of Jazz and Blues, incorporating the National Jazz Awards, is back live face to face this year over the weekend of October 28-30, 2022 in Wangaratta in North East Victoria.
