SongVault Artist Profile

Taking their name from a reference to the wee hours when rock n’ roll is created, played and lived, The Morning Life is a quintet from New Orleans, LA playing an honest, ethereal brand of music. The combination of talents that live within the band reveal a delicate balance of power and atmosphere. The July 2009 release of their debut album “Old Hymns of a New Age” and live shows have garnered glowing reviews from members of G. Love & Special Sauce, The Subdudes, Marc Broussard, Cowboy Mouth, and The Vettes. Bobby Hoerner (vocals), Jack Miele (guitar), David Philastre (guitar) and Woody Dantagnan (drums) recorded the “Hymns” album with Miele producing and recording in his New Orleans based studio, Fudge Recording Studio, where he has done records with such artists as Ani Difranco, Mars Volta, Stanton Moore (Galactic), Better Than Ezra, Dr. John, and Steel Pulse. The recent addition of bassist Graham Robinson, following the completion of the album solidified the chemistry. Taking from the traditions of artists such as Brian Eno, Radiohead, Peter Gabriel, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, much of what The Morning Life has to offer is both sweet and raw. This is a band that knows about musicianship and is sure to rise to preeminence in today’s ever changing music market.
