Marsha Morgan Band
Do you remember Marsha? From her Bio:
Marsha started her career in the entertainment business 25 years ago performing in a variety of venues. But first came Gospel! Born in Asheville North Carolina she began entertaining the Church at 4 years old with her gospel renditions! It was years later at the world famous Grove Park Inn that she was invited to sing and that, as they say, was that! The 80’s was a busy decade for Marsha. Marsha worked with producer/singer-songwriter Paul Davis (“65 Love Affair" & "I Go Crazy”) and released her album “In My Room”. Marsha fronted the band “Horizon” from 1979 until 1985.
Marsha performed in “We Are the World” with Michael Jackson at the direction of Quincy Jones which led to a performance on the American Music Awards show in Los Angeles.
Marsha’s early roots are in Rock and Roll included jamming with Warren Haynes of the Allman Brothers and Government Mule. She dabbled in the country music world at the encouragement of Chet Atkins when he was the president of RCA Records. RCA Records flew Marsha to Nashville where she stayed at the home of Chet and his wife. Country music just wasn’t what she wanted to do, and they pushed hard! (That was before Garth made country cool, who knew!)
Marsha who has a place at Myrtle Beach as well as here, has always loved the beach and blues. She always keeps songs on the Myrtle Beach radio as well as being one of the most sought after Artists on the Grand Strand!
Thanks Marsha for sharing your talent and band with us!
