Thanks to Morgan's generosity, these concerts will benefit the Windsor Art Center and WIN-TV. Morgan's next concert at the Windsor Art Center is on December 8. About the Artists: Morgan Giosa is a 27 year-old web developer, blues guitarist, photographer, and visual artist from Windsor, Connecticut. Morgan and his brother Alex, a professional drummer, were raised around music and the arts. Early on, Morgan discovered and developed his own passion for blues guitar. A self-described “old soul,” Morgan’s music is rooted in the 1960s’ electric psychedelic blues of artists such as Michael Bloomfield and Jimi Hendrix as well as in the music of the great electric bluesmen, B.B. King and Albert King. Morgan’s music ultimately comes to him spontaneously from his unique and unconventional intuition, emotions and life experiences. Morgan and his band, The Fake News Blues Band, released their first CD in September of this year. Gene Donaldson, well known musician in the Greater Hartford area for 40 years, has taught guitar and bass at Windsor Music since 1970. Since being guitarist for “The Motown Review" from 1985 to ’92, he has played with his own group, The Stingrays, and has hosted blues jams at venues such as Black Eyed Sally's and The Hungry Tiger. Gene is a lifelong resident of Windsor and has performed on the town green for many Shad Derby celebrations and Thursday Night Concert series.
