| Biography |
| "The most talented and multi-faceted entertainer/singer/songwriter to come along in 30 years. Not since working with Faron Young, Roger Miller, Ray Price… have I seen such genius." Frank Lowe (Producer, songwriter, performer) |
| "Where isn't Morgan Englund these days?" asks
Soap Opera Digest. "The former Guiding Light star is on the slopes, on the WEB,
on TV and on a CD." This versatile performer from a theatrical family (parents;
Cloris Leachman and George Englund, grandmother; Mabel Albertson, uncle; Jack
Albertson) has an enduring career in theater, on television and now in the
music industry. His guest lead appearance with Pamela Anderson in "VIP," the
new hit series on Fox, follows his highly acclaimed performance as Bryan in the
theatrical production of "Change at Babylon" at the Tiffany theater in Los
Angeles. But the project he is most excited about is the anticipated release of
his new CD. Recorded in Nashville at Masterlink studio, musical backing including Pete Wade, Hargis "Pig" Robbins and Jimmy Capps, some of the talents who helped create the "Nashville Sound," there was an atmosphere of excitement and a groove in the recording that one seldom gets in the assembly line sessions so often done today. A gifted storyteller (he wrote all ten songs for his upcoming CD) Morgan's career began in elementary school where he used his talents to get out of trouble. Now, after spending several years portraying Dylan Lewis on CBS's Guiding Light by day, weaving a small town of characters on New York theater stages at night, and performing the standards in clubs throughout both New York and Los Angeles, Morgan has finally decided it's time he share his music with the world. Morgan's love of story was nurtured while attending the University of Colorado, Boulder where he majored in English Literature and Drama. His musical influences range from Don Henley and the Eagles, The Allman Brothers… to Randy Travis, Trace Adkins, Garth Brooks and Roger Miller… to William Shakespeare. His sound is raw, heartfelt, from the soul. "I never realized country music was the vessel through which I would ultimately be able to express myself. In country music you find simplicity in the stories and lyrics that you don't find in Rock or Pop. The stories are funny, sad, about grieving and loss…that's what I write about. My songs are in the deepest parts of me. I want to reach in and communicate what I have to others." He writes of the human condition, the condition of the spirit and the mind. Some of his tales will break your heart others will make you laugh out loud. Move you…linger with you long after the music fades. Now based in Los Angeles Morgan lives with his two best friends, his children, Anabel and Jackson. |
