about
Jake Morley is a London-based singer-songwriter who started his creative career in music on the acoustic-folk scene that has seen the likes of Ben Howard and Lucy Rose rise to prominence. His influences and growth as a musician have now led him to new depths and directions with his much-anticipated second album, due for release in 2015. A rare and unusual talent, Jake Morley made waves with a musical style to drop your jaw, tapping and slapping an acoustic guitar on his lap as if playing the guitar, piano and drums combined... whilst singing. Sell-out headline gigs and the release of a critically-acclaimed debut EP This City were followed by major support slots for The Hoosiers and Nizlopi. A full debut album, 'Many Fish To Fry' was released in February 2011, launched with a sell-out gig at London's famous Bush Hall. Not just an unbelievable guitarist, Jake's true talent lies in singing songs of beautiful, honest intensity. Self-reflection and internal narratives are major themes running through much of the deeper and more mature new material, which can be sampled on his SoundCloud page: https://soundcloud.com/jakemorley/.
