An active figure on the Brisbane music scene for almost a decade, singer-songwriter Andrew Morris has delivered a collection of songs close to his heart on Little By Little, his debut solo album released on his own independent label, Soul Arch Records.
A veteran despite his young age, Morris first picked up the guitar when he was 12 and has been performing live since finishing school in the mid-90s. His innate sense of melody and harmony, together with his honey-toasted vocals, are no fluke of nature. Rock’n’roll, it seems, is in the Morris blood: Andrew’s father was a member of 60s beat act The Allusions, while older brother Chris has made a name for himself nationally, albeit on the other side of the stage as an awarding-winning band photographer.
Morris’s musical upbringing resonates throughout Little By Little. Around the same time that he picked up a guitar, Andrew was transfixed when he heard Neil Young’s ‘Heart of Gold’ on the radio. He rushed out and bought Harvest, an album that decades later served as inspiration for his debut solo release.
“I’ve loved Harvest since I was a kid. That country soul bluesy feel was something I always wanted to explore.”
Morris recorded Little By Little in just ten days, in a piece-meal fashion thanks to the busy schedule of the album’s co-producer, Bernard Fanning. A close friend, Fanning offered Morris the use of his new home studio – Leafy Bug Studios – to record his debut (and “guinea pig” the studio).
