Morgan James
Let’s start with the voice, an instrument through which she can communicate anything. A gift bestowed upon her that she has expertly trained, meticulously nurtured, and passionately galvanized into action by an urgency to make real music. Next, the stories, and she has them in spades. They are full of truth and beauty, heartache and thoughtfulness. They reveal colors we weren’t expecting to see. They make us close our eyes and relate. And finally, the soul – the emotional and intellectual energy through which these parts are fueled. That special something that prompted The Wall Street Journal to herald her as “the most promising young vocalist to come along so far this century.” That young vocalist is Morgan James. And Morgan James is a soul singer. $25 General Admission $30 GA Day of Show$45 Preferred Seating (seating in the first 5 rows of the center section)$50 Preferred Seating Day of Show Presented by Emporium Fully vaccinated minors ok with parent/guardian COVID SAFETY POLICY: All ticket holders are required to show proof of full COVID vaccination.
