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.

For the last year, Morgan Geer has been working from his home studio with Paul Oldham (Bonnie “Prince” Billy, Palace), building on drum tracks initially recorded in New Mexico at Empty House Studios, home of doom metal bands like OM and Sleep. The end result evokes an ominous acid Western feedback-and-driftwood aesthetic.

The latest Drunken Prayer releases have been 2019’s acclaimed LP Cordelia Elsewhere mixed by Mitch Easter (Let’s Active, REM) and the ambitious 17-minute-long death-raga, Electric Daddyland from 2021.

Over the past two years, before the pandemic, Drunken Prayer played hundreds of shows across 18 countries and across the US at venues such as the Newport Folk Festival, Pickathon, and San Francisco’s Great American Music Hall. Geer’s music has been featured on AMC, NPR, WFMU, and SiriusXM.

On the side, Geer is the lead guitar player for alt-country goths, Freakwater, and writes for different artists including the Brooklyn rock and soul phenom, Bette Smith. Morgan has also been touring internationally, opening for and often joining the eccentric, Handsome Family.

Today Morgan splits time between Portland, OR, and Asheville, NC.
