Marques Morel

Marques Morel is a Midwestern troubadour with a dust-on-the-boots voice and stories to match. Raised in Illinois corn country, he’s played everywhere from street corners to festival stages, sharing bills with the likes of Charlie Parr and Joe Pug.

His latest album, Tales and Tellings, earned national praise for its sharp writing and roadworn heart. Live, Morel is all energy and honesty—part folk singer, part front-porch revival—often turning a room into a full-throated singalong.
