Description

Originally hailing from the high desert of Northern New Mexico, Cahalen Morrison has made a name for himself. Over the past decade touring solo, as a duo with Eli West, or with his roadhouse country band Western Centuries, Cahalen has played shows and festivals all over the world and performed on stage with the likes of Tim O?Brien, Kelly Joe Phelps, Hot Rize, Crooked Still and Kris Drever.

Equally at home on guitar, banjo, mandolin, singing three part harmony or unaccompanied, he has carved out a place for himself as a unique voice in American music. An insightful and poetic wordsmith and songwriter, a subtle and accomplished roots multi-instrumentalist and a captivating singer.

Due out in the spring, Cahalen Morrison's new record The Rolling Thunder of The Sea is a collection of all new, original material from the acclaimed New Mexican songwriter. The theme of his relocation to Scotland from the American West runs deep throughout the album.

The project will feature Cahalen alongside many of Scotland's most influential and forward-thinking musicians including Kris Drever, ,Kathleen MacInnes, Brìghde Chaimbeul, Lauren McColl and West Virginian bluegrass luminary Tim O'BrienThe warmth and vigour of Scotland's music scene has very naturally encouraged these collaborations and the instrumentation leads to a subtle yet obvious departure from Cahalen's straight ahead American roots sound, incorporating elements of Scottish Trad, jazz and classical.

?Cahalen is making music the world needs.? (Tim O'Brien).
