The military took Joshua Morrison away from Seattle,
and then helped him create one of the greatest albums of 2007.
--Seattle Sound
Joshua Morrison grew up listening to local artists Death Cab for Cutie and Pedro the Lion. I don’t say that to make you feel old but to give you an idea of where his influences come from. That, along with the three years he’s spent in the Army and away fighting in Iraq. While in Iraq he would scribble down lyrics and record when he was back home @ Fort Lewis. Incredible insight into the mind of a young and talented man serving his country and one of the best singer/songwriters this area has seen since Elliott Smith made his home in Portland. --John Richards of KEXP
Its been a long time since we've chatted! TOO LONG! I see your back in Washington. I just moved back here last month. I found myself listening to Shin Splintz the other day! :) Still have that CD and I still LOVE your voice! Are you playing any shows around here? I'd love to see you if you are. How can I get ahold of your CD? What have you been up to lately? Give me an update and I'll talk to you soon. Cassandra
i'm playing at Mr. Spot's Chai House in Seattle on July 10th, love it if you could come. been a long time. let me know if you have any shows in seattle from July 5-15, i'll be home for a while, otherwise, in charleston, sc...take care
hey josh! it's been a while what with each of our deployments. i got kicked back for mine so i could have back surgery, but i hear you are doing well on yours. good luck and stay safe. we still have to go sky-diving:)
Hey Buddy I'm getting out next month. Just wanted to tell you to go with god, be safe and blessed. And we still think of you. Sounds like you're doing great things w/your music but that doesn't surprise me. I'm staying around the area so I'll start lookin for up-coming concerts later this summer. Love you, TTFN!
dude, portland and beyond! the prieshane and paramorrison tour? haha. it seems you two rubbed off on me coz there's actually a fair bit more acoustiviness (that's right) in a lot of the songs on the new album, so the sets might actually mesh a little better next time around.
but yeah we should at least do a one-off show the next time you're in the vicinity. have you’re people call our people.
Fine songwriting brother. Thanks so much for having me here with you. If you like, there's a free pre release download available here. All the best to you there.
