Summer fun idea: Grammy award nominee Zak Morgan to perform at Calcasieu libraries

Acclaimed children’s musician and Grammy award nominee Zak Morgan is back and making a stop in Southwest Louisiana as part of the Calcasieu Parish Public Library 2023 Summer Reading Program.

Morgan’s music delivers songs and poems with wit and charm that inspire. His program is filled with stories and laughter and encourages learning through reading, imagination, and confidence building.

Zak will be making a stop at the following library branches:

  • Thursday, June 22: 10 a.m.-Moss Bluff Library, 261 Parish Rd., (337) 721-7128
  • Thursday, June 22: 2 p.m. – Central Library, 301 W. Claude St., (337) 721-7117

Morgan’s performances are unique musical experiences for children. He has performed more than 2,500 concerts for kids since 1999. Parents and children will use their voices, creativity, and body movements to participate in the fun.

Morgan has released five critically acclaimed records and one DVD for children and was nominated for a Grammy in 2003 – a rare feat for an independent artist. Morgan currently resides in Cincinnati.
