OPEN - JASON MORANT

For most of his life, 24-year old singer-songwriter Jason Morant has been a part of New Orleans, its church and its music. His second release, Open, underscores the artist’s gift for melody as colourful and textured as the city he’s from. It’s equal parts rock, pop, folk and worship – he’s inspired by all of it.

Open honours the city’s musical diversity through rich instrumentation that includes ambient strings and horns along with piano, dobro, banjo and accordion. Lyrically the songwriter exposes his range too, delving into personal subject matter and addressing the Church on issues near to his heart.

This enhanced CD features chord charts and lyric files for four songs. Additional chord charts and lyric files are available free from verticalmusic.com.
