Austin TX Hall of Famer Gurf Morlix Plays Laurel Thirst Public House
One of the most successful and influential names in Roots/Americana music is coming to Portland for a show at Laurel Thirst Public House on Tuesday, April 12th.
Gurf Morlix is known for his innovative and insightful instrumentation on albums he has produced for internationally recognized recording artists such as Lucinda Williams, Robert Earl Keen, Slaid Cleaves, and Ray Wylie Hubbard. .
He has been awarded Instrumentalist of the Year by the Americana Music Association, inducted into the Austin Music Hall of Fame, made 7 critically acclaimed and chart topping albums of his own songs, and toured the world promoting them. The Austin Chronicle described his songs, ““Hypnotic and provocative,” and says of his performances, “The man sings with such beautiful sadness…”
His latest release, ‘Eatin’ at Me’ is perhaps the most personal and autobiographical record Morlix has written to date. He grew up in upstate New York, and two tracks on the record, Dirty Old Buffalo and Born in Lackawanna, depict life there through the eyes of one on the threshold of manhood. He has not departed completely, however, from the style his listeners have come to expect, delivering tales of murder and loss with mesmerizing style and wit. Elephant’s Graveyard and Last Call are examples of the haunting and heart-breaking tunes that have impressed his critics and endeared the Texas balladeer to his fans.
Tiffany Walker, of Lone Star Magazine, reviews the record, “The ten songs on Eatin’ At Me clearly come from a man who looks at life and the world around him, with all its grit and glory, unflinchingly. His songs tell tales of love and regret, happy memories and heartbreak, the kinds of things that stay will with a person, eating away at them, if allowed.”
The show starts at 9 pm on Tuesday, April 12th. Laurel Thirst Public House is located at 2958 NE Gilsan in Portland. Tickets are $8 and may be bought at the door. For more information, visit www.laurelthirst.com or call (503) 232-1504. More about Gurf Morlix at www.gurfmorlix.com
