Andrew Morgan
6/29/6 at Schubas in Chicago
I’ve blogged about Andrew Morgan a couple of times before but this time, I’m a little more sentimental about it as this was possibly his last Chicago show for a long time. Andrew is possibly moving out of the area to Boston and this is a big loss for Chicago but we should be thankful we had him this long.
I’ve seen Andrew Morgan play about five times over the last couple of years and each time it’s a bit different depending on the musicians he brings to accompany him and the instruments as well. Last night, he was accompanied with drums and tambourine on some songs but overall it was a more intimate affair. Although he played some songs off of his album, Misadventures in Radiology, he played many new songs that he’s working on recording for the next album or couple of albums. These songs held up well and sounded consistent with his previous work so if you love that album (and if you don’t have it, I would recommend buying it), you’ll probably love his upcoming album as well.
Andrew is whispy but pained, sincere and delicate. He’s also a really good person. If you get the chance to see him, you are lucky. This world is a less bleak place when we can all share in something so special as music like this.
