Morgan Giosa is a web developer, blues guitarist, photographer, and visual artist from Windsor, Connecticut.
From an early age, Morgan was raised around music and the arts. His brother Alex is a professional drummer and a skilled visual artist. Many of Morgan's friends and peers are gigging musicians. As such, Morgan has naturally discovered his own passion in blues guitar and the visual arts through this frequent exposure to creativity.
A self described "old soul", Morgan feels his music is most rooted in inspiration from the electric psychedelic blues of the 1960s (artists such as Michael Bloomfield and Jimi Hendrix are among his favorites), as well as influenced by the greatest electric bluesmen of all time (particularly B.B. King and Albert King, two of his favorite musicians).
Morgan's music and visual art ultimately come to him spontaneously from his unique and unconventional intuition and emotions and life experiences.
Frank Varela has dazzled audiences for many years with his guitar prowess. He is known among his peers as a unique master guitarist who ignites the interest of every listener. His imaginative compositions, arrangements of standards and numerous recording engagements has brought years of recognition, including favorable reviews in the nationally renowned publications such as "Jazz Improv" magazine.
Frank Varela's ability to inspire others is reflected in the improvement of many professional guitar playing peers who study privately with him to bring their playing to a different level. He takes pride in mentoring so many players including a long engagement teaching blues phenom Jake Kulak who Frank taught from Jake's first lessons at age 11 through to his acceptance into Berklee School of Music and Morgan Giosa who has performed at various CT and MA venues and recorded an album of original music with Frank and other veteran musicians.
Morgan and Frank, alongside bassist Rudi Weeks, drummer Alex Giosa, and multi-instrumentalist Matt Kampe, recently released an album under Morgan's name entitled "Feelin' Fine Today", which has received airplay on independent radio stations as far from home as the United Kingdom. Frank and Morgan are currently back in the studio working on a follow up album of original blues music, which should be released in early 2025.
