I recently discovered young Morgan Bain whilst sorting though some SpeakerTV interviews at my work. His interview contained snippets of the above track Unkind. His talent was instantly apparent.
I really recommend you check out his other clips on youtube. Excellent covers of Little Lion man and Lonely Boy (and my absolute fav Fast Car.. even though he skips a couple of lines).
The above clip is a Bain original. He is clearly a songwriting powerhouse and set to take the Australian Music Industry.
The below is a bio extract from morganbain.com.au
“Morgan Bain is a rarity in the music world. While most musicians consider themselves fortunate to build a successful career over many years, the talented teenager has accomplished more than contemporaries twice his age in half the time and may be Western Australia’s most promising singer-songwriter.
His song writing is insightful, powerful and emotive, matched with a soulful voice well beyond his years. This has resulted in consecutive WAM Song of the Year awards in 2011 and in 2012, Semi Final status in the International Songwriting Competition in 2011 and again in 2012 along with being 1 of 3 songwriters from around Australia in the finals of the Telstra Road to Discovery.
With his high energy guitar playing intertwined with an earthy stomp box and powerful blues harmonica his talent is unmistakable and makes for captivating raw performances and a sensibility that showcases his skills in the Blues/Roots genre. His debut EP “Another Day” released at just 17 years of age received rave reviews around the country and now his newly released self titled EP is fast garnering attention, with the award winning single gaining high rotation on top commercial radio station 96FM Perth.
With regular gigs around the State, an ever increasing fan base, supports for COLD CHISEL, ASH GRUNWALD and DONOVAN FRANKENREITER along with invites to play some of the nation’s biggest festivals including Blues at Bridgetown, Tamworth Music Festival, Queenscliff Music Festival, Parklife Perth, Fairbridge Festival, Nannup Music Festival and Norfolk Lanes, leaving no doubt that BAIN is definitely one to watch!”
With the fast growing demand for his amazing live performances the future is looking very bright for this promising young artist.
