Veterans Room

Drummer, composer, and creator Guillermo E. Brown pushes music performance to new heights through musical collaborations, sound installations, and singular theatrical works. Splitting his time as a solo performer, under the moniker Pegasus Warning, and as a drummer for bands like Reggie Watts’ KAREN on the Late Late Show with James Corden and other free jazz ensembles, he demonstrates his expertise in various disciplines that combine experimental musical performance with a sense of political urgency. Brown comes to the Veterans Room with a cast of collaborators for an insightful overview of the past, present, and future of his work, including some of his Creative Capital projects and new compositions played on a new audio-visual musical instrument he is building as part of the Doris Duke Foundation Performing Arts Technology Lab.

“Whether it be calypso, out jazz, hip hop, or electronica, Brown is unapologetically eclectic … we are in for a long and twisted ride”
