GRAMPS MORGAN HAS JOINED FORCES WITH THE DUO LOUIS YORK, ON THE NEW SINGLE “HAVE A LITTLE LIGHT!”

Since the duo began writing and record­ing music, Louis York-named after a
combination of their respective home­towns (Harmony from East St. Louis,
Kel­ly from New York City)-has released an EP trilogy entitled ‘Masterpiece
Theater: Act I, Act 11, Act Ill’. The projects earned praise from publications
including Bill­board and Los Angeles Times for their genre-bending
sensibilities and creative aesthetic.

In 2019, the pair unleashed their full-length debut, American Griots, which gained much attention with their bold,
dynamic, sultry sound heard on lead singles ‘Don’t You Forget’ and ‘How
Will I Feel’ which reached the top 15 on the US Urban Radio chart. The
well received album produced appearances on 3rd Hour Today, PBS
NewsHour, CNN, and several other major media outlets. In a relatively
short amount of time, the pair has amassed millions of cumulative streams
on Spotify; given a talk as part of the esteemed TEDx Nashville program;
performed sold-out shows domestically and internationally, starred in
award-winning feature films and have performed at the Grand Ole Opry
many times.

Now, after establishing their own cre­ative studio and label Weirdo
Workshop, and settling into their headquarters in Franklin, Tenn., Louis
York partnered with artist and music producer Sir The Baptist to executive
produce the GRAMMY Award-winning album ‘The Urban Hymnal’ by the

Tennessee State University Aristocrat of Bands in the ‘Best Roots Gospel
Album’ category which the pair wrote, produced, and performed as a
featured artist on the track ‘Blessings on Blessings’ alongside Donald
Lawrence and ChurchPpl.

The pair is ready to release their sophomore effort titled ‘Songs with
Friends’ set to feature the likes of PJ Morton, Jessie J, Lalah Hathaway,
Chris Daughtry, Anthony Hamilton, and more. “Louis York was created
when two friends became a band to make the best music of our lives. We
understand the magic of collaboration and we have some of the most
brilliant, eclectic friends in the world. It was time to put that collective talent
on full display. Every song tells the story of who we are. When you put it all
together the creative chemistry is explosive! Making songs alone is cool,
but nothing is more powerful than making Songs With Friends.” ~ Louis
