OVERVIEW James Vincent McMorrow is a singer-songwriter from Dublin. His sound has been favourably compared to that of Bon Iver. He is a multi-instrumentalist, who started out playing drums in bands. At this stage, he was quite influenced by the rock scene. However, he soon decided to branch out on his own. Over the next few years, he listen to a lot of singers and taught himself how to play other instruments. He released his debut EP, 'The Sparrow And The Wolf' towards the end of 2008. He started the process of recoding his debut album in London but the studio environment did not suit McMorrow and he returned to Ireland. A house by the sea outside of Drogehda was where the album was ultimately conceived. The album, entitled 'Early In The Morning' was released in February 2010 and has been met with critical acclaim. 2008 - Release of 'The Sparrow And The Wolf' E.P.
