Acoustic music with a groove. Progressive folk. Heavy Wood. Mike Morris defies the stereotype of the solo acoustic musician. With bluesy vocals and bass-heavy guitar playing, performed on 6- and 12-string guitars, his sound moves effortlessly from folk and blues to rock and rap.

"Mike's performance is an energy-charged frenzy of guitar, songwriting and wit.  He is a pleasure to watch and very popular with my patrons.  I have put Mike in front of sold out artists like Willy Porter and the crowd has absolutely loved him.  Mike has an uncanny ability to get the room involved in his performance by his second song. Whenever he plays Tupelo, I am sure to get emails and phone calls from patrons asking when he is coming back.  Mike is rapidly developing into a headliner at Tupelo Music Hall."

  ---Jaime Poulin, owner of Big Head’s, Rochester, NH

“The genuine article... all rock star without the attitude.”
  ---Mel Schrier, in Main Street Magazine, UNH

“Inspiring… this guy should be stealing my gigs.”
  ---Harvey Reid, veteran songwriter and multi-instrumentalist

“A very energetic, up tempo and uplifting percussive stylist… a cross between Michael Hedges and Peter Gabriel.”
  ---The Manchester Union Leader
