BIOGRAPHY

Here is a brief History of John's musical journey!

John Morgan is a Country Rock Artist from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. John started out his music career as a Drummer but quickly realized that he had a knack for songwriting. He taught himself how to play Guitar and started singing. John started writing his own songs after a Family tragedy. " I lost my Brother and that had a profound affect on me! I wrote the song Swig. The song just poured out of me, I barely had to change a word. "After the break up of a Cover Band in 2005 I knew it was time to get into a Studio and start recording my own music." In 2006 John recorded  his first album titled Karma.

 

Karma was recorded with Maritime Producer/multi instrumentalist Ross Billard in Halifax. "Karma was a great experience and it got me out playing original material". John played the album for 2 years then with a bunch of new songs headed into the Studio to record  " The Little Things "

​

The Little Things was produced by the uber talented James Logan at The Cabin Studios in Tangier N.S. "James and I created something that I really love. The songs came from my Heart and James captured the mood of every song."  The singles The little things and When I think Country did very well for John on Country Radio In Canada and helped garner Him not one but four showcases at The East Coast Music Awards in Charlottetown PEI.

​

In 2011 John and his wife moved to the Caribbean Island of Curacao. After taking almost a Year off from performing John decided to get back to playing. " I stopped playing but I kept writing! I ended up writing 24 new songs during that time period." It wasn't long before The playing bug bit him again.

​

While playing on Curacao John re-ignited his love for playing Classic Country and Rock & Roll music. " I was never much of a cover Band guy, but the Island vibe was so great that I had to get out and play! when we played the old ones like Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, Johnny Cash, people loved it. " I love playing the covers, but I will get back to the Originals again, that's for sure"

​

John finished his 3rd Studio album in early 2018, again he collaborated with James Logan at the Cabin Studio. " This album is totally different from the last two! I have been leaning more towards the Rock side of my sound lately and these songs just came out that way. Not every song on the album but most of them, I guess you could call them alt Country Rock"

​

John's Caribbean adventure is also came to an end as well!  "we moved to the Caribbean for 2 years 6 1/2 years ago, we are now moving back to Canada and I'm excited to be doing that armed with a new album!

​

Like many other artists the Covid epidemic knocked John off stride for a few years! " Covid stopped me in my tracks for a time and I wasn't sure we would ever get back to playing live music again! but things went back to normal and we got back at it"

​

These days John and his Band can be seen playing shows in his Homeland of Canada as well in the Caribbean! Curacao has become a second Home for John and he travels back at least once a year and brings back his brand of Country and Classic Rock to the Island. "originals, covers or our Red Hot Chili Pepper Tribute Show! I love them all and look forward to playing them anywhere people still want to hear live music! played by a Band that gives their all every night"

​

Stay tuned folks, The John Morgan Band is coming and they are ready to Rock!
