Gabe Morales — live event
Gabriel Morales is a guitarist, vocalist, composer, and producer based in New York, NY. As an instrumentalist, Gabriel has performed and recorded with numerous internationally acclaimed musicians and bands such as Snarky Puppy, Michael League, Kassa Overall, Cory Henry, Ben Williams, Lil’ John Roberts (George Benson, Janet Jackson), Robert “Sput” Searight, Jamey Haddad, Jay Ashby, Lucy Woodward, Carla Canales, Becca Stevens, Nathan Schram, The Jamie McLean Band, Banda Magda, Darrell Scott, Matt Schofield, and Arun Ramamurthy, among others. Given influences ranging from blues and rock to jazz and contemporary composition to Latin-American folk, the music Gabriel creates as a solo artist rejects strict categorization. His writing is rooted in the blues, while exploring a wider harmonic and rhythmic palette paired with modern songwriting sensibilities. Going in hand with these aesthetic choices, his lyrics convey themes of identity, change, and perception. Gabriel has performed at venues ranging from the Jefferson Center and the Taubman Museum of Art in Roanoke, Virginia to Nublu in New York, NY to Finney Chapel in Oberlin, Ohio. He has also opened for artists such as Robert Cray and The Wooten Brothers. In 2023, Gabriel worked as an instrumentalist with artists such as Butterfly Black (Ben Williams, Syndee Winters), Kassa Overall, and SIRINTIP. In addition to performance, he produced a forthcoming ep for Peruvian-American vocalist Adriana Vergara, taking her compositions from a singer-songwriter foundation to an electronic pop/indie folk aesthetic. Gabriel recorded guitars, synths, acoustic pianos, and vocals, as well as mixed the project. Passionate about music and arts advocacy, Gabriel has worked with non-for-profits and organizations such as The Canales Project, Music Lab at Jefferson Center, Education Through Music (New York), Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute, Oberlin Center for the Arts, and Taubman Museum of Art. Gabriel studied under Bobby Ferrazza (Donald Byrd, Clark Terry), earning a B.M. in Jazz Guitar Performance in June 2022 from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music in Oberlin, Ohio.
