Jess Morgan

Jess Morgan is a British singer-songwriter born in Norwich, England. She writes and performs folk and roots music that is inspired by both the British and North-American Folk traditions. She has a distinct voice and style and an approach to song-writing that is extremely evocative and much of her repertoire involves plots and characters anchored in real places and times. In 2009, Morgan was adopted by the thriving music scene in Bergen, Norway, where Morgan recorded her first full-length album and embarked on a three week tour with her Co-producer: HP Gundersen playing Pedal Steel. With the support of Norfolk County Council, Morgan put together a three week tour America's North Shore covering 11 venues, in 7 states in 22 days: including gigs in The Space, Conneticut and Greenwich Village's The Bitter End. She released her second album Aye Me in 2012. The Bournemouth EP (2015) was conceived as a limited-run release. Morgan is also a featured vocalist and co-writer of a number of dance music and trance songs featuring on albums from Armin Van Buuren, Beat Service and records which have featured in Beatport top 10 and the UK albums chart.

Trevor Heaton, EDP Music "This is a great first album from a great new talent and it deserves to do well" Bright Young Folk "She is a great talent and one I hope we will see a lot more of on the live folk circuit in 2012".
