Artist: The Kenn Morr Band
Song: “Cuttin’ Through”
Album: Still Shining
Genre: Folk, Acoustic, Americana
Inspired by greats like Gordon Lightfoot, Simon & Garfunkel and Graham Nash, Kenn Morr writes original songs that incorporate warm, lush harmonies and wistful instrumentation. A hard-working touring band that has received airplay worldwide, the group has recently been touring in support of their 2023 album, Still Shining, which includes the hummable, engaging single “Cuttin’ Through”.
Morr’s vocals on the song are low key, but subtly pierce with his thoughtful delivery. As he sings lines like “remember there are always roads to take”, there’s an authenticity to the wisdom he evokes, likely from his own experiences as a touring artist. He utilizes the band’s harmonizing in small but effective bursts, with a round of vocals from his band forming layers that build the track out.
This is a song that will sneak up on you and stick with you. Check it out in our Check This 2024 Playlist.
