James Vincent McMorrow : Belfast
James Vincent Mc Morrow is a songwriter from Dublin. His writing and vocal talents attracted the attention of EMI resulting in a publishing deal in 2008. He released his debut EP Sparrow and the Wolf late that year, a collection of demo recordings he’d made while living in London. While not the finished product by any means, it was very much the sound of someone experimenting with words and melody, figuring out a direction and vision that he’d carry with him into the recording of his first album.
James has racked up some amazing support slots and guest appearances over the last 18 months, with the likes of Bon Iver, Iron and Wine, the Dodos, Al Green, and Nathalie Merchant all inviting him to play shows. James also supported Tracy Chapman on her European tour last year. Early in the Morning is James debut album due for release on the 26th February 2010.

Recorded in an isolated house by the sea, Early in the Morning is a completely self-produced and self played affair. It was recorded with one mic, a room full of beat up instruments, very little engineering knowledge, and a good amount of patience.
His song, taken from the album, We Don’t Eat has just been included on One Tree Hill series, and the track Follow You Down To The Red Oak Tree will featured as part of the children’s charity Barnardos TV campaign.
“It really feels like this album finally says exactly what I’ve always wanted to say, sounds exactly like I’ve always wanted to sound. I’ve taken a lot of interesting turns in the last 2 years, had some amazing experiences, made some amazing mistakes. One day I stopped, sat down, thought about what I truly wanted to be as a musician, and this album just arrived. It’s indelibly me, it makes me happy, and whatever happens to it beyond that, it is all good” -James Vincent Mc Morrow
