Michael Morrow Band features the journeyman jam guitarist with a solid backing band, covering a vast and classic songbook, versatile and fierce guitar playing, and his renowned signature vocals...uncanny, haunting and unmatched. Voted RELIX magazine 2009 Jam Off contest winner and recently on the short list for spots with Jerry Garcia Band and Dark Star Orchestra, Morrow has been consistently putting smiles on Deadheads for years. JGB bandleader Melvin Seals called Michael personally after hearing a 2009 live recording, even flying him to St. Louis for an audition. In 2005, DSO called him "...the finest singer we auditioned...blown away." Voted Top Ten Best Of The Fest at 2006 Bethlehem Musikfest, a reviewer said "...the vocals were Dead on." Reading PA area jam promoter Chris Kratz at Plusvibes Productions called MM "...one of my favorite guitarists." After years as a hardworking Jam, Funk, Reggae and Grateful sideman, finally Michael Morrow steps out as a bandleader with authority. In 2012, the new Michael Morrow Band will begin the season by playing selected East Coast shows performing an electric tribute to the music of the Jerry Garcia Band. Alongside MM will be a tight band featuring drummer Stephe Ferraro (Boris Garcia), veteran Grateful bassist Jeff Wandling (Alligator,Groove Train Riders), stellar organist Matt Hahn (VW Project,Third Orbit) and a pair talented vocalists Marci Segal and Autumn Walden bringing the sweet harmony. Hear the familiar sounds, feel the vibes and catch the magic. --------- Spending the last few years as both a sideman for touring Reggae, Funk and Jamband acts, Morrow is also virual "go-to guy" with a slew of GD tributes including hometown Splintered Sunlight, Good Lovin' Jamband, Nine Finger Saloon, Steal Your Face, Double Dose, Living Earth and Montana Wildaxe.
