Biography


Morgan Harris (she/they) is a Colorado-based guitarist specializing in traditional North American stringband (or ‘old time’) music. In contrast to the purely accompanying role the guitar often occupies in this space, Morgan’s distinctive playing technique allows the guitar to shine as an old time melody instrument, creating a rhythmic drive and a multi-layered resonance that is unique in the world of flatpicked guitar.

On Morgan’s upcoming record Alone Will Tell (out Nov 1st, 2024), she performs a collection of traditional tunes and songs with just her guitar and voice, drawn from historic source recordings of driving fiddle breakdowns, hypnotic banjo pieces and austere mountain ballads. This is the music she has continually found herself drawn to in quiet, solitary moments, and it has been shaped by long familiarity and patient questioning. Morgan’s first release as an out trans musician, Alone Will Tell is a meditation on the transformative potential of looking inward.

Morgan is also a member of the old time trio Tall Poppy String Band (with George Jackson and Cameron DeWhitt), and has performed extensively across the US - including such events as the Minnesota Bluegrass August Festival, the Durango Bluegrass Meltdown, Wintergrass and IBMA Bluegrass Live! In addition she has run numerous workshops at festivals and music schools on old time guitar playing, and in 2023 she was part of the teaching staff for Valley of the Moon Scottish Fiddling Camp.
