Kristen Lee Morris has forged a reputation as one of Australia’s most unique and captivating country & blues musicians. His songs cut to the heart and on stage with his rusty guitar he tears the house down.
Meeting Bill and Kasey Chambers at a songwriter night on the NSW Central Coast led to the Chambers’ produced album 'Ruins' (2014). Featuring a kick ass country band (Bill Chambers, Jeff McCormack, Steve Fearnley) playing Morris’s hard, swamp blues, 'Ruins' struck a chord with country and blues lovers alike. Here was a guy that could write a break up song and, at the same time, shake the walls.
“Morris blew me away with his raw blues and alt-country that kicked up metaphorical dust while at the same time cutting an emotional line straight to the heart.” - Post to Wire
Morris’ musical chemistry with partner, Sarah Humphreys, led to their critically-acclaimed, self-titled debut record as a band, Eagle & the Wolf (2016). Their lead singlE Mama, Son & the Holy Ghost received national airplay and opened the door to national tour supports with Kasey Chambers, Charlie Parr, and Hayes Carll.
"Open hearted Americana from smitten Australian duo…Humphreys’ voice is mellifluous throughout and Morris’s dilapidated croon is an alluring counterpoint…the pair’s sincerity and chemistry makes their first record together beguiling indeed." - Rolling Stone
Morris himself has also shared stages with the likes of Corey Harris (USA), The Blind Boys of Alabama (USA), Dave Alvin (USA), Jeff Lang, 19-Twenty and many more.
Morris' new record, Hillbilly Blues, produced by Bill Chambers, is out now.
