Drunken Prayer is the brainchild of Morgan Christopher Geer from Asheville, NC. Wood-shedding on a farm with former DP keyboardist Audra Fleming in Northern California around 2006, Morgan wrote and arranged the handful of songs for what would become Drunken Prayer's self-titled debut record. Others in the current fold include Joel Meredith of Blind Pilot on steel guitar and, on loan from The Breeders, percussionist Jose Medeles.
LATEST NEWS: The American Movie Classics channel has picked up “The Demon” and “What Made Me Kill” from Drunken Prayer’s first record for promotion.
"...one part the Band, one part Tonight’s The Night and several parts sinner’s remorse...Bad Seeds-in-New Orleans noir..."
Fred Mills Harp Magazine
"...a blistering example of bad-assedness."

“Morgan is the real deal as a frontman, a barking ringleader with chops between Tom Waits and the Butthole Surfers’ Gibby Haynes” Casey Jarman
Willamette Week Portland, OR
"The songs contain striking lyrics that sweep over and engulf the listener. Pay close attention to those thoughtful words - some of them are very deep and will challenge you."
Brenda Barbee Roots Music Report
"Why in the name of all that’s holy is Drunken Prayer not a massive, national success?"
The Stonewailer Portland, OR
"There is a primal sorrow in this release that flows like a molten lava, occasionally erupting through the surface of this country-R&B gem...This is saint and sinner stuff full of passion and pain."
Jeff Weiss Miles of Music
