Marcus Raul Morales is a native Central-Texan driven by his love of music and performance. His brand of ambience-forward blues and rock ‘n’ roll recalls the stylings of Jonny Lang and Pink Floyd. With a rotating cast of world-class Austin musicians, his full band moves a crowd into dance with ease while bringing them a listening experience distinctive and original in the Texas music scene. Damned If You Do…, Morales’ single produced by Chris “Frenchie” Smith, was released on all streaming platforms in Summer 2023. The song is a fresh take on blues expression – a field of music that, at times, can be congested with mediocrity while punctuated by greats. It represents the 15+ years Morales has spent refining his methods and exploring modalities through performance to present a renewed spirit on the classic genre.
Electric Waves, the newest release from Marcus Morales is an ode to the heady days of new love, told with alternative power pop bravado. Produced and recorded at The Bubble with Frenchie Smith and featuring Fastball’s Joey Shuffield on drums, the upbeat ballad recalls the whimsy of The Flaming Lips and Spiritualized.
