Led by Alexander County Native Fredrick Morrison, N-SPIRE BAND has a rich history of transformation through the years. It started with multiple musicians working with other famous musicians, which fanned the flame of Freddie Morrison to create something magical. N-Spire has transformed from an all male gospel group, to an all male jazz group, to an all male with one female multi-genre group, to what you see today. The president and CEO of N-Spire Freddie Morrison’s experience traveling and working with a plethora of famous musicians all over America, n-spired him to continue the music.
Musicians in the N-Spire Band include Freddie Morrison (Lead Bassist, Lead & Background Singer) Brandon Carr (drummer), Nickey Mott (Lead & Background Vocalist), India McWhorter (Saxophonist, Lead, & Background vocalist), Duane Smith (Pianist, Lead, & Background Vocalist, Mitchell Huntley (Guitarist), and Keenen Gillespie (Keyboards).

It is said you have to be there to experience it. N-spire’s music includes R&B, Jazz, Funk, Pop, Old School, Go-Go, and more.
