Morgan Guerin: esperanza spalding - Vilar Performing Arts Center

Morgan Guerin is a genre-fluid multi-instrumentalist and composer whose music merges jazz, R&B, hip-hop, and experimental sounds into a dynamic and immersive experience. Raised in a musical family near New Orleans before moving to Atlanta, he developed his craft from a young age on drums, saxophone, flute, bass clarinet, EWI, bass, keys, synthesis, and engineering, later studying at The New School in NYC. Guerin has performed with renowned artists such as Terri Lyne Carrington, Tyshawn Sorey, and Esperanza Spalding, and his work has contributed to two GRAMMY-winning albums. His latest release, Tales Of The Facade, is a deeply personal project that reflects on identity, technology, and social change, featuring a fusion of lush harmonies, intricate grooves, and compelling narratives. Recognized by The New York Times as a “wunderkind,” Guerin continues to break musical boundaries while crafting a sound that resonates across generations.
