Journey Through Sound

I've had the pleasure of first meeting Corey Gaston when we were high school students at the North Carolina South Central All-District Band Clinic. In this interview we talk life as a military musician in the Marine Corps Band Program and how that experience laid the foundation for his teaching and performing career. Corey Gaston has been a lover of trumpet for over 25 years and the first time that he played it, he knew that he would never put the horn down. Corey, a native of Charlotte NC, is the trumpet player and horn arranger for Sol Fusion Band, freelance-trumpet professional, and music educator. Over the past few years as a professional musician, Corey has shared the stage and recorded with a varietal mix of some of the world’s finest musicians including Maynard Ferguson, Ron Kenoly, Travis Cottrell, Donald Lawrence and Tri-City Singers, Maurette Brown-Clark, Bill and Gloria Gaither’s Homecoming Series “Camp Meeting”, Sistar, James R. Adams And The Abounding Faith Church of God in Christ Choir, Billboard chart-topping artist, Gabriel Bello, Phillip Carter and SOV, Brandon McSwain Band, Natural Wonder: The Ultimate Stevie Wonder Experience, Todd Parrott, StellaRising and many more! Corey serves as Dean of Students and Director of Bands at Concord Academy. He is an adjunct professor at Catawba College and Cannonball Musical Instruments endorsed music educator.
