Americana singer-songwriter John Elwood Morgan is a true American troubadour, strumming and singing his way through life’s most meaningful moments. John’s sound is a musical confluence of the Appalachian mountain range and the southwestern desert. The result is an earthy and comfortable listening experience that is both relaxed and engaging, like swapping stories with an old friend. John combines influences from traditional folk, bluegrass, country, and blues to craft a unique, homespun sound and authentic stories in song.

Sleepy Eyed Songster
I have been immeasurably humbled at the amount of people requesting to keep my songs with them on their journey. Therefore, I present to you these acoustic recordings, unmastered and with minimal production, much how you would hear them in person. The songs are a collection of crowd favorites, as well as personal favorites, from my catalogue of original songs.
More to come, and I’ll see you down the line!

“Music that makes me wanderlust like this always finds a place in my heart. Morgan has a way of showing songcraft with subtlety and restraint, relying on forging a connection with his audience rather than demanding it. The EP shows a polished mix of roots music genres that Morgan taps into while still remaining something all his own, his lyrics standing out as a wonderful expression of storytelling. When presented on the beautiful bed of dynamic instrumentation and arrangement, the words come to life.”
