Willamette Wineworks continues its weekly live music series Saturday night with local artist Peter Morgan that brings the sounds of jazz to life at the Historic Folsom venue that offers a relaxing atmosphere along with fine wines and many eats to enjoy from their own kitchen or that of Scott’s Seafood that’s just downstairs.
Morgan is known for composing and performing unique original contemporary jazz instrumentals delivered in a coastal smooth jazz style, spiced a dash of blues that is Morgan’s signature sound. According to his music bio, the talented artist has produced all six of his albums showcasing his skills on guitar, harmonica, bass, keyboards, lap steel, dobro, pedal steel, pan flute, ukulele, percussion and vocals.
Morgan has performed alongside some of the biggest names in jazz including Fattburger, Michael McDonald, trumpeter Chris Botti and keyboardist Phillipe Saisse to name a few. Peter has performed numerous times at the Sacramento Jazz festival, the world’s largest jazz festival.
In addition to the big names he has shared the stage with, Morgan has an impressive musical resume. Some of the highlights include receiving national exposure as the music director for a number of public television specials including The Boston Computer Museum’s Computer Bowl and The Software Publishers Associations 10th annual Excellence in Software Codie Awards. Both broadcast on PBS’ Computer Chronicles. He also recently performed on a song that was used on the WB Network’s hit show Hart of Dixie.
The live music will begin at 5:30 p.m. and continue until 8:30 p.m. More information or reservations visit the Willamette Wineworks’ website or by emailing them at info@willamettewineworks.com.
