atmospheric jams + earthly emotions

just me, myself & I

Morrison was formed in early 2023 and consists of one person from idea to release. Dylan 'Morrison' Rose started Morrison after back to back years of grief and loss as an outlet for all the emotions one goes through; starting with the loss of his grandfather who's last name was Morrison. There's no rules in this music - just pure emotion, fragility and good vibes all rolled into one.

Morrison resides in Joplin, Missouri where Dylan has lived his whole life. He started learning drums at the age of 10 which sparked various musical projects. In the always missed 'MySpace era' Dylan was in a two piece band 'A Modern Romance' who drew influnces from artists such as The Postal Service, Bright Eyes, Elliott Smith, Modest Mouse, Beach House, The xx, Dashboard Confessional and Matt and Kim. But you must remember, this was the era of the local music rush so artists like Never Shout Never, Carter Hulsey and Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin also fed the flame to want to create and feel big in a small town. Now Morrison shares the locale of such bands as Me Like Bees, The Science Of and Caleb Denison here in central US. 

"It's everything I feel. It's the good, the bad, the sad and the spaces in between. There are no rules." - Dylan 'Morrison' Rose

Born and raised in New Hampshire, Jason followed his state motto of "Live Free or Die." Shortly after starting his sophomore year in high school, Jason grew an appreciation for a broad range of musical styles. This is what compelled him to pick up a guitar and never put it back down. Not satisfied with merely mimicking the sounds of the songs he loved, he began writing his own. 

Shortly after high school, Jason played in some very successful, original bands that helped him learn many different styles of music, all the while honing his understanding of music theory. Jason then left NH and traveled nationally for a number of years. Along the way, he met and played with various musicians, young and old, and learned their take on music. Eventually, he made his way to Joplin, Missouri, the place he now calls home. Using his wisdom from the road and current life experiences as inspiration, his song writing style is a testament to his broad range and respect for all forms of music. 

In 2014, Jason released a self-titled album that showcases his writing style and love of music in 10 original songs. He has made the lyrics for all these songs available on his website: www.jasonkinneyband.com. He continuously writes, practices, and hones his craft for all to enjoy.
