Roland Guerin's gone ReauxGue
With a new project and a new name, New Orleans based singer-songwriter-bassist Roland Guerin is starting a new musical chapter.
Drawing from a wide spectrum of genres, including American folk, blues, zydeco, rock and jazz, ReauxGue creates a new and singular style at the heart of which are stories, told through multi-layered melodies, rhythms and expressive lyrics in the range of Steely Dan, John Mayer, Sting and Peter Gabriel.
Raised in a musical family – his father was a great lover of jazz and classical music, his mother, a blues and zydeco bass player – ReauxGue began playing bass at the age of 11. Throughout his formative years, ReauxGue was strongly influenced by pop, rock and R&B music of the 70’s and 80’s. Bands and artists such as Lakeside, Dazz Band, Rush, the Brothers Johnson, Gerry Rafferty, America, and Booker T & The MG’s seeded his love for great songs and inspired him to write music of his own.
In addition to performing with his own band at major venues and festivals worldwide, such as the Blue Note in Tokyo and the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, ReauxGue has performed and toured alongside numerous legendary musicians, including Alvin Batiste, John Scofield, Allen Toussaint and Dr. John.
ReauxGue will be releasing his new album entitled Grass Roots in January, 2017.
