James Vincent McMorrow
Hall Two, 8pm
James Vincent McMorrow has taken a somewhat circuitous route to success (hardcore rock, hip hop, a house by the Irish Sea and a growing love of folk). Yet he has emerged as a quite brilliant new talent.
His musical life began far removed from the haunting folk and mythic imagery of his debut output. His early love was hardcore rock, and he spent his teens learning to play drums to the likes of Refused, At The Drive In and Glassjaw. It wasn't until he heard Donny Hathaway's 'I Love You More Than You Will Ever Know' that he even considered singing, and because of the high, soulful tone to his voice, James found particular encouragement from female singer/songwriters.
James' debut album 'Early In The Morning' received widespread critical acclaim. It is an atmospheric and absorbing listen, which peels back layers upon every visit. It can be musically sweet and lyrically maudlin by equal measure.
