About The Event
Raised in a musical family - his father a great lover of jazz and classical music, his mother, a blues and zydeco bass player - Roland Guerin began playing bass at the age of 11. While studying Marketing at Southern University in Baton Rouge, Guerin joined legendary jazz educator Alvin Batiste’s band, The Jazztronauts. Having inherited much of Batiste’s musical innovations and concepts, Guerin developed ways to bring his own musical voice to life. The jazz genre became his avenue toward success. Over the course of his career, Guerin toured and performed with legendary musicians, such as George Benson, Allen Toussaint, Dr. John, John Scofield, Ellis Marsalis, Marcus Roberts, and more. He also participated in the recording of numerous albums, including The Blind Boys of Alabama’s Grammy Award winning album "Down in New Orleans," Marcus Roberts’s Grammy Award nominated recording of George Gershwin’s classic "Rhapsody in Blue," and Allen Toussaint’s album "Connected."…
