Jess Morgan and Nels Andrews coming to the Brig Below

Jess Morgan from England and Nels Andrews from the US will
be appearing at the The Brig Below in Leith Walk on 15^th October.

The pair have joined forces because they both – for the
first time – have illustrated books to accompany the new music they want to
bring to audiences in 2019.

Jess and Nels wanted to showcase something on tour which
would satisfy the most avid record sleeve-readers, comicbook-worms, or just
about anyone feeling lost in the digital age.

 Their co-headlined
show promises an atmospheric concoction of songwriting, spoken word and fun
visuals. They will tour in England and Scotland, through September and October.

The two singer-songwriters met in 2011 on a grey, drizzling
night in Leicester. Nels Andrews, a seasoned songwriter a long way from his
home in Santa Cruz California, was touring his record of the time in the UK.
His opening act was Norwich based Jess Morgan who was then just beginning her
career.

The two singer-songwriters stayed friends, bumping into each
other at shows and festivals on both sides of the atlantic and always finding
time to grab coffee and talk song-writing.

Nels and Jess are both fans of comic book illustration, film
photography, and squeezing into a wetsuit and surfing on waves close to home, –
The Pacific Ocean and The North Sea respectively.

Both have brought out their music in analogue formats – Nels
has a single out on luminous yellow flex-disk and Jess spent most of last year
making her own 7” vinyl records in her kitchen.
