\nMorgan Geer of Drunken Prayer<\/p>\n
Drunken Prayer transcends the bounds of Americana music. Morgan Geer writes songs that could emerge from a highly blissed-out biker bar or a swampy ashram.<\/p>\n
The new Drunken Prayer record, Thy Burdens, is an homage to the fiery music of the church. Partnering with Drive-By Truckers\u2019 Bobby Matt Patton, the pair recorded this album in North Mississippi with some of their friends from Appalachia and the Delta including members of MJ Lenderman\u2019s band, Band of Heathens, Jimbo Mathis\u2019 group, and Wednesday.<\/p>\n
In 2026 The Deslondes from New Orleans included Geer\u2019s \u201cCordelia\u201d on their covers album of influential songs. Alongside like minded artists as Johnny Cash, Swamp Dogg, and Clifton Chenier, Glide Magazine says \u201dThat song alone justifies this album\u2019s existence.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morgan Geer\u2019s poignant and wickedly funny music is revered across the fringe of Americana. Rennie Sparks of The Handsome Family said \u201cMorgan Geer is the real thing \u2013 a songwriter with a heart as deep as the Marianas Trench and sensitive as the wet hands of a raccoon.\u201d Geer also plays guitar in the pioneering alt-country band Freakwater and collaborates with members of Butthole Surfers, Melvins and Ween. He started using the moniker \u201cDrunken Prayer\u201d after a chance conversation about rats with Tom Waits.<\/p>\n
Drunken Prayer is now a stalwart of the burgeoning scene in Asheville, NC. Morgan Geer has recorded and toured with some of the cornerstones of what we call modern Americana music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
