Soul singer-songwriter Morgan James performs live at the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix.
Morgan James plays the Musical Instrument Museum on Sunday, October 25, at 7 PM. She's a New York-based soul singer-songwriter who describes her voice as her instrument, and that's a good place to start with her. She's a Juilliard-trained vocalist and a Broadway actress, so the technical side of her singing is backed by some serious training. Her live shows lean on soul, R&B, and funk, and she's put out 12 albums over the course of her career.
Beyond the training, there's a specific streak she brings to her work. She's built a global following through relentless touring and a genre-bending ambition, and she's open about a particular taste for inserting herself into men's spaces and twisting hypermasculine tropes. It's the kind of detail that tells you she's not just singing the songs—she's playing with them.
