Conversations S2-E22 W.G. Snuffy Walden with Sara Niemietz

1 hour 4 minutes

W.G. Walden has worked with everyone from Donna Summers to Chaka Kahn to Stevie Wonder. When he was initially approached to score the music for a new ABC show, ThirtySomething, W.G. was a bit apprehensive and rightly so. Walden spent years performing with the likes of Eric Burdon, King Crimson, Emerson Lake and Palmer and more. Little did he know that this would become a new direction for him professionally. Success has followed W.G. and he has gone on to score such shows as West Wing, Roseanne, My So-Called-Life, Friday Night Lights, Ellen, The Wonder Years and many more. He is an Emmy winning composer who has won numerous BMI music awards.

Sara Niemietz has collaborated on numerous musical projects with mentor and friend, Emmy winning composer W.G. Snuffy Walden. It is winning combo that has lasted years and to this day, Sara Niemietz spends countless hours honing her craft. Most recently she performed on The Hallmark Channel’s July 4th Tribute on the South Lawn of The White House with Sara Evans. A Chicago-native, Sara Niemietz came to California in search of creative opportunities. She is a successful and accomplished singer/songwriter who has worked with the likes of Richard Marx, BJ Thomas, Melissa Manchester, Glen Ballard and tours regularly with Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox.
