Harmonies of Life: The Cameron Handel Story of Family, Trumpet, and Triumph

Charleston Jazz Podcast

When my brother gave up the trumpet in 10th grade, I never imagined that brass instrument would lead me to Cameron Handel, whose own brother's influence set her on a path to become a standout trumpet player with the Charleston Jazz Orchestra. My chat with Cameron is nothing short of a symphony, as she recounts the thrill of performing with the amazing Manny 'Showstopper' Houston and gives us a glimpse into her life, where music is as much about family as it is about performances.
Cameron's story is a melody that moves from her early days, breaking gender norms in the brass section, to forming the Handel Family Band with her percussionist husband and their musically gifted daughters. Their lockdown music videos didn't just echo in the halls of their home; they reached across the internet, bringing viral fame and invitations to perform at prestigious venues. Her tales weave a beautiful tapestry of professional accomplishments, like touring with Michael Bolton, and the intimate harmonies she creates with her family. Join us and hear how Cameron's passion for trumpet has orchestrated a life filled with rhythm, joy, and the sweetest of notes.
