Morgan Cameron Ross

Vancouver native and front-man of Birds of Wales, Morgan Cameron Ross is celebrating the release of his solo self-titled album debut, released by Sparks Music/EMI Music Canada.

After many years of fronting his successful band Birds of Wales, Morgan felt the urge to venture off on his own and work on a solo project. Recording sessions were set up with producer and multi-instrumentalist Jon Anderson. The demos that came out of those sessions rang true to Morgan's more "rootsy" side, rather than the slick pop production of his debut release in 2010, 'Belgravia Hotel' from Birds of Wales.

The first single/video 'Let it Go' (featuring Daniel Wesley on vocals) recently peaked at #8 on MuchMoreMusic, and garnered strong support from XM Radio, AUX-TV, and METRO 14 Television. The album also features Holly McNarland on the track 'I'll Hold Your Heart', and Morgan co-wrote 'We've All Had Broken Hearts" with Canadian legend Ron Sexsmith.


The video for 'My Brother Went to Prison' was conceptualized by Morgan and his long-time friend, Remi Rybicki (who also shot the video). The story tells of a man of a man who is not living up to his potential; a wanderer, as exemplified by the lyric: "He's a heavy, heavy hitter…fighting well under his weight."

"Yes, the storyline is sexual, but we thought it portrayed the lost soul theme we wanted to capture," says Morgan.

Morgan Cameron Ross is performing tonight, December 6th, 2011, at the Elmdale House Tavern in Ottawa.
