| About Lee Morgan |
"...Morgan simply bleeds music... Listen for a guy that sounds like the best classic singer-songwriter
mix-tape you never heard, and that’ll be Lee Morgan."
-Philadelphia's Origivation Magazine, August 2008 Issue
Read the Editorial Feature on Lee in Origivation Magazine (scroll down to page 7)
“His voice has a quality that’s beautiful, yet smoky and ragged. It’s a voice you remember because it sounds natural and spontaneous, filled with emotion. It’s a rock voice, a sound not usually heard in a Broadway musical. In fact, when Morgan’s not acting in a show, he can be found performing and recording with his music partner, Joe Lutton.”
–Dramatics Magazine, November 2006 issue.

Standout Performer for the month of May at the World Cafe Live's Cream: The Best of Philly Rising, Lee Morgan is a singer-songwriter and actor born and raised in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Now living in the New York/Philly area, Lee is a self-taught musician who began writing songs as a young teenager, inspired by the Beatles, Stephen Stills, Cat Stevens, Donny Hathaway, James Taylor, Neil Young, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, and many others.
As an actor, Lee was in the original Broadway cast of The Who’s Tommy. For that show he taught himself blues harmonica and played and sang a version of Sonny Boy Williamson’s “Eyesight to the Blind” that critic Janet Maslin, in her New York Times review, called “scorching”. (Hear “Eyesight” and other numbers performed by Lee on the Original Broadway Cast album.)
Lee also originated a lead role in Brooklyn the Musical on Broadway, and has appeared in several shows off-Broadway and in regional theaters around the country. Lee juggles life as a singer songwriter with the acting career, but hotel rooms make for some of the best songs, so whether he’s doing theater or music on the road, there’s always a place to write.
Lee’s guitar, harmonica, and voice all work together with his unique songwriting and rock and roll roots to create an earthy and solid style some have called Soul Folk.
