Michael Sean McMorrow (born July 2, 1973 in Bremerton, Washington United States) is an American musician, composer, and producer, and founding member of jam band Stolen Ogre.In addition to writing songs for the group, McMorrow plays keyboards and acoustic guitar. Michael is a voting member of the Recording Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Michael McMorrow is a composer, a recording artist and the producer of some of Washington State’s most prestigious and beneficial music events. If you are involved in the Northwest music community, you may know him; if not, you probably have a friend who does because McMorrow's musical thread is woven wildly throughout it.
McMorrow's first training in music came from his Texas-born mother, and from his Irish-born grandfather Frank McMorrow, a fiddler. At 11 years old, Michael was writing, arranging and performing his own compositions on the family piano, and at 12 he won California’s statewide Young Composers Competition.
As executive producer and musical director, Michael produces Synergia Northwest Presents, to raise funds and awareness for youth music in the Pacific Northwest. Michael is a voting member of the Recording Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was most recently appointed to the Board of Directors for Seattle Music Partners which follow the same philosophy as Synergia Northwest. Because music-learning opportunities are often limited or inaccessible, Seattle Music Partners provides a free after school music program for under-served elementary school students in Seattle's Central District. Michael McMorrow is currently underway with the planning of Synergia Northwest 2014 concerts and continues to write, record and perform on various projects and as always with McMorrow, new musical threads are woven and the good outcome continues.
Michael was a part of the Horizons of Rock Developing Everywhere (H.O.R.D.E.) Festival tour, where his musical encounters with Brendan Hill (of Blues Traveler) brought the two to form a band.
