Lee Morgan

"...Morgan simply bleeds music... Listen for a guy that sounds like the best classic singer-songwriter mix-tape you never heard, and that’ll be Lee Morgan."
-Philadelphia's Origivation Magazine, August 2008 Issue

“His voice has a quality that’s beautiful, yet smoky and ragged. It’s a voice you remember because it sounds natural and spontaneous, filled with emotion. It’s a rock voice, a sound not usually heard in a Broadway musical. In fact, when Morgan’s not acting in a show, he can be found performing and recording with his music partner, Joe Lutton.”
–Dramatics Magazine, November 2006 issue.

A 2008 finalist at the World Cafe Live's Cream: The Best of Philly Rising, Lee Morgan is a singer-songwriter and actor born and raised in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Now living in between New York & Philadelphia, Lee is a self-taught musician who began writing songs as a young teenager, inspired by the Beatles, Stephen Stills, Ray Charles, Cat Stevens, Donny Hathaway, James Taylor, Neil Young, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, and many other gifted souls.
As an actor, Lee was in the original Broadway cast of The Who’s Tommy. For that show he taught himself blues harmonica and played and sang a version of Sonny Boy Williamson’s “Eyesight to the Blind” that critic Janet Maslin, in her New York Times review, called “scorching”. (Hear “Eyesight” and other numbers performed by Lee on the Original Broadway Cast album.)
Lee also originated a lead role in Brooklyn the Musical on Broadway, and has appeared in several shows off-Broadway and in regional theaters around the country. Lee juggles life as a singer songwriter with the acting career, but hotel rooms make for some of the best songs, so whether he’s doing theater or music on the road, there’s always a place to write.
Lee’s guitar, harmonica, and voice all work together with his unique songwriting and rock and roll roots to create an earthy and solid style some are calling Soul Folk.
