Morgan James

Broadway's Morgan James is delighted to bring to 54 Below her smoky and soulful renditions of songs from her debut CD, as well as a sampling of tunes you’ve not yet heard from her. She’s fast becoming one of the most sought-after multi-genre vocalists in the country. Recently seen in the Broadway revival of Godspell (who could forget her sultry rendition of "Turn Back, O Man?"), 2013 will see Morgan playing Teena Marie, Doris Day, and others in the new Broadway show, Motown: The Musical. Her debut recording on Epic Records, Morgan James Live: A Celebration of Nina Simone, offers up a selection of songs that show off her extraordinary voice and exquisite gift for merging soul, jazz, and R&B in a fresh and thrilling new way. Come see what led Terry Teachout of The Wall Street Journal to declare Morgan “the most promising young vocalist to come along so far this century.”
