  • Bio

    .. .. .. .. .. .. ........PURCHASE JEFF MORRIS ..Far Away.. and ..afterglow.. HERE!........ .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. .. ..MySpace Layouts.. .. ........Jeff Morris.. is a purveyor of pure pop rock. On the heels of his critically acclaimed debut 'afterglow', Morris' 2009 cd release 'Far Away' again displays his unique ability to craft intelligent, radio ready, pop music. Co-produced with John Boswell, and mixed by David Rashed (Haywire), 'Far Away' is a mix of clever power pop nuggets and Beatlesque ballads, driven along by Jeff's trademark melodies and guitar motifs. Setting the tone for the new record, the title track 'Far Away' has proven to be a successful single for Morris, garnering 12 commercial radio station adds, National airplay, and remaining in the top ten on the 'East Coast Countdown' for six weeks. The latest single 'Photograph' stayed on the top ten of the ECC for five weeks, and is currently in rotation at Canadian commercial radio! Jeff has recently been nominated for two 2010 PEI Music Awards in the Pop Recording, and Male Vocalist categories. His track "Cellophane Girl" was one of only three songs selected, out of hundreds, to appear on the 2009 Atlantic Film Festivals Sponsors Reel airing at film screenings during the event in Halfax. .... Morris' critically acclaimed debut album ..afterglow.., recorded at The Factory Studios in Vancouver, features a potent blend of striking melodic and lyrical hooks, big guitars, and fluid vocals. The album's three singles, 'Cellophane Girl', 'Everything', and 'Sitting on the Moon' received heavy commercial radio play throughout Atlantic Canada. .... An award winning songwriter, Jeff has shared the stage with artists such as Bryan Adams, Steve Earle and Tom Cochrane, and showcased at NEMO in Boston, the ECMA's in Halifax and Charlottetown, and at Contact East in St. John's Nfld. His song "Sitting on the Moon" received an honorable mention in the 2003 John Lennon International Songwriting Competition. ...... .."Power pop is back in the maritimes thanks to singer-songwriter Jeff Morris...".. Stephen Cooke, The Halifax Chronicle Herald....

    "Morris shows an ear for listener-friendly rock, lots of melody toughened up by solid, crunchy guitar" The New Brunswick Reader.... "…this 11-song set is a well crafted, well produced effort that finds Morris at the top of his game, churning out smart, guitar driven power pop nuggets and Beatlesque ballads…" The Gaurdian.... "Jeff Morris has created a sort-of 'remember when' power pop gem here on his debut as it intermingles, quite intimately, the most classic sounds of such early 80's bands as The Hawks, The Producers(and Rick Springfield)… with the more modern touches of the 2002 reunion of Fools Face, The Candy Butchers, The Elms and The JTG Implosion. Almost all these songs sound like the ready to take on many different radio formats…" Not Lame Recording Company
