Episode 298 – Memories in Utero

Standard

Hey everyone, this is Jeremy! This week we start out the episode talking about Julias car issues. Her car went down in a noble ball of flames (well not exactly) but that conversation quickly turned into a rant about bad drivers and parking lots. On a happy note, the voting is in for naming the Salt Lake City Snowplows. The Winners are

  • Sled Zeppelin
  • Flake Effect
  • Snowy McSnowFace
  • Rudy Snobert
  • Jon Bon Snowvi
  • The Notorious P.L.O.W.
  • Ice Eccles
  • Snowbi Wan Kenobi
  • No More Mr. Ice Guy
  • Sugar Plows

 When the snowplows are out you can track them on the new Snowplow GPS Tracking web site.

This week we are honored to chat with Morgan Thomas, a musician, and wood carver from Morgan Utah.

Morgan was borne in Ogden, Utah moved to Provo, then Eagle Mountain, and ended up back North in Kaysville. Morgan was involved with several bands through high school and after going through his ‘Heavy Metal’ phase he decided to pursue the Folk Acoustic music genre. Often being compared to Mumford and Sons (who may or may not have stolen Morgans style) … Morgan says, ‘they are probably the best way to describe his style’.

Morgan spent some time doing sound mixing after high school, he recounts a funny story where he had to set up for Folk Hogan and one other similar band on the same night. With 5-8 members of the bands, and a barrage of non-traditional instruments (mandolins, accordions, violins, etc.) Morgan was baptized by fire, but it was the hardest sound mixing gig he ever did.

Morgan decided soon after that he wanted to be the one on the stage. He started teaching guitar lessons and playing solo as well as joining forces with other bands. He played bars, clubs, festivals, and even started doing some touring. Unfortunately, COVID put a huge dent in his plans (as it did so many people). Morgan took the down time to try a few different things and discovered the joy of wood carving. He was part of the Tooele County Renaissance Fare last year and sold his wood gnomes. He plans on being part of the Fair again this year, so you will have a chance to buy one of these cool carving in October.

Morgan talks about post covid, moving to Morgan City, Utah and continuing to pursue his love of music. Morgan is still teaching guitar (so look him up for lessons) and he ended our interview with some live music. You will really want to listen to the episode for that.
