This year will be extra special because we’ll be celebrating some of my favorite songs (and hopefully yours!), my new CD, ‘Sense of Pride’ and my birthday Dec. 7! So come out and let’s have some fun with me and my friends Kathie and (my producer) Michael from Baillie + The Boys.”

Gary Morris’ new album Sense of Pride is receiving rave reviews including this latest piece in the Digital Journal: “Gary Morris delights on Sense of Pride, as he displays his subtle, soothing vocals, as well as his exceptional storytelling abilities. With each song, Morris paints a vivid picture in the minds of his listeners. His voice is like a quiet storm, and this is an album that one can easily meditate to. It deserves more than just a passing glance, and it garners an A rating.”
