"Alan Morphew plays folk rock, with elements of country and 70's classic rock... A strong singer / songwriter with melodic and catchy tunes... Lyrics range from the personal and introspective to the socially conscious... Morphew has an outstanding voice with an impressive range. His ability to move effortlessly from lower notes to a Jeff Buckley-esque falsetto serves his songs well... A spirited performance, making eye contact with audience members, engaging the crowd verbally, and singing with earnest passion... He has a great deal of stage presence and a willingness to interact with his audience in a warm and honest way..."
