starring: Gurf Morlix
A giant of the Americana circuit he has performed on some of the world’s biggest stages and played alongside some of the biggest names in the game.
Last year he was crowned Instrumentalist of The Year by the Americana Music Association at the prestigious annual awards in Nashville.
He has produced, recorded with, or performed alongside a veritable "Who's Who" of the music business. The list includes Warren Zevon, Mary Gauthier, Slaid Cleaves, Lucinda Williams, Eliza Gilkyson, Steve Earle, Harry Dean Stanton and many more.
Gurf worked with Lucinda Williams for eleven years, serving as guitarist, vocalist and bandleader, as well as producing her critically acclaimed albums Lucinda Williams’ and Sweet Old World. He has released five solo albums - and a sixth is on the way. At the end of the year, Last Exit To Happyland was sitting pretty at Number 40 when the Americana Music Association's Top 100 Albums of The Year were announced, then in the Americana UK Writers’ Best of 2009 selection, the same album figured in the Top Ten Albums list, with contributor Phil Edwards saying of the man: “Legendary producer proves he's as good as the rest of the them. No in fact, he's better.”
Staff writer Maurice Hope said: “After years making others sound good now it’s his turn.” The record had won him a 9-out-of-10 rating from Americana UK, with the recommendation: “Albums like this don’t come along that often”.
Last year, he was interviewed by legendary BBC Radio 2 presenter Bob Harris, and performed ‘live’ in the studio during his Thursday night Country show, before heading for his own sold-out headline event at Glasgow’s Celtic Connections Festival.
Last time here Mr Morlix drew capacity crowds wherever he went. As Bob Harris said: “He’s a legend. Everybody should want to experience this”.
Tickets £10 (£8.50 conc)
