As a popular pianist, Harrington gives his own improvisational take on songs new and old. Harrington incorporates standards from jazz, #BAM, folk, pop, and classical traditions into his performances.

Pianist Morgan Harrington’s interest in music began at an early age, taking piano lessons in elementary school from a local pianist. His interest then turned towards playing guitar and electronic sample-based music before rediscovering his love for piano at a later age. After graduating from high school in 2010, Harrington spent five formative years pursuing his music and working in Minneapolis, Minnesota and then subsequently in Asheville, North Carolina. After returning to school, he graduated summa cum laude from UNC-Asheville in May of 2020 with both a B.F.A. in Jazz in Contemporary Music Performance and B.A. in History.

Apart from being a hired free-lance musician, Morgan plays in number of groups including the Joey Harrington Trio, the Wayne Banks Trio, Less Poets, Vermillion Quartet, and the Mouthbreathers.
