Before finding his home in Virginia, Morrison’s musical apprenticeship was a nomadic one. In Michigan, he cut his teeth playing cutthroat harmonica at Ann Arbor’s legendary The Blind Pig, sharing stages and influence with blues harp master Madcat Ruth, and performing alongside such icons as Mitch Ryder, Luther Allison, and other blues greats. His path took him through collaborations with Rollie Tussing and Chris Buhalis, and diverse acts ranging from the progressive rock of The Four Disgraces to the underground punk legends of Metro Detroit, including the Laughing Hyenas.

Over 20 years ago, Morrison followed a path that led him to the comforting shadows of Buffalo Mountain in Floyd, VA. Settling on the land his father once chose, the peace of the mountains brought a new chapter of clarity and craft. It was here that Morrison got sober and took up the guitar in earnest, allowing the quiet of the hills and the vibrant local music culture to seep into his songwriting.
