Morgan Lamphere

Vermont rocker Morgan Lamphere, (formerly the drummer, turned lead guitarist for the ?hiatused? Burlington, VT favorites Named By Strangers), has released his solo debut album titled, ?Morgan Lamphere ?Native & The Deconstruction'?. Lamphere, a multi-instrumentalist, lays down all the vocal and instrumental tracks himself on this rock album save a few guest appearances by Burlington guitar hero Dave Diamond (Dave Grippo Funk Band, Turkey Bouillon Mafia)...

Morgan Lamphere's music is haunting while familiar with psychotic, yet soulful lyrics that evoke love & escape, loss & death and all the trials & tribulations of a misfit musician. Morgan Lamphere is influenced by many styles and genres, and you can hear such bands as Blind Melon, Beck, Pink Floyd, Medeski, Martin & Wood, as well as referencing contemporaries Spookie Daly Pride, Bright Eyes, and local legend Jeremy Harple all seeping into his musical style.

Morgan Lamphere's live band consists of the aforementioned Sir Brian Lauri on keys, J.D. Smith on bass(Miracle Train), and Owen Price (Turkey Bouillon Mafia) on drums with very special guests in store.
