About Me

GET THE TUNES, DUDE: You can download "Dimestore Sagas" online on most major e-tailer stores. Below are links to iTunes, DigStation & CDBaby.

BIO:I was raised in Chewelah, a small rural town north of Spokane, Washington in the vale of the Selkirk mountains. I spent the last several years in Spokane, having more time in the laid-back pace of the big-small town to work on the craft of singing and songwriting. My latest journey has brought me to Albuquerque, New Mexico.Guideposts to the direction of my songs are musicians and songwriters like Tom Waits, Jimmy Webb, Kris Kristofferson, Mark Lanegan, Radiohead, and Johnny Cash, of whom my voice is incessantly compared to--I got the low pipes from my padre : ). I aim for writing songs like poetry, rich in imagery & colorful phrasing, and hopefully every song is in distinction from the next."Dimestore Sagas" is my first CD made available which is available for purchase from the links below, and gosh-darnit, I'd love it if you could support the music! But even if not, I hope you will look forward to updates on how my music and career are progressing.Thanks for stoppin' by, and hope you enjoy!--Kevin Morgan

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 14/04/2006
Band Website: email: [email protected]
Band Members: Kevin Morgan is composed of lead singer/lead guitarist/lead songwriter Kevin Morgan. He finds himself pretentious enough to name his music entity after himself. How creative.However, on the occasion he is in the Pacific Northwest, he hooks up with Jonathan Nicholson, whose lead guitar work is heard on Kev's first ever CD, "Dimestore Sagas EP", released by Kevin Morgan Music. (Jonathan's work can be heard on myspace.com/JonathanNicholson)
Influences: Tom Waits, Duncan Sheik, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Nickel Creek, U2, Mark Lanegan, Alice In Chains, Stevie Nicks, Leadbelly, Stone Temple Pilots, Starflyer 59, Marty Robbins, the Cranberries, Glen Campbell, Gordon Lightfoot, the Cure, any Mark Kozelek band, Beck, Nick Drake, Led Zeppelin, songwriters such as Johnny Mercer and Jimmy Webb...Artists like these are guideposts that let me know if my music, my lyrics, and my voice are headed in the right direction. Thanks, guys!...And gals.
Sounds Like: Johnny Cash meets Duncan Sheik who roomed with Beck but hung out with Bob Dylan, who shot pool with Bruce Springsteen, played poker with Kris Kristofferson, who tossed a few back with the Crash Test Dummies, at a party which Tom Waits crashes, and then Marty Robbins bails 'em all out of jail.
Record Label: Unsigned
