Born and raised in the high desert of Northern New Mexico, Cahalen David Morrison manifests beauty -- of land, people, art, and love -- through music. Sweeping from raggy finger picking and twangy bluegrass ballads to traditional New Mexican rancheros, mellow, bluesy lap slide guitar and spirited jazz drumming,

Cahalen's music taps into the entirety of true Americana music.

While living in southern India and studying sitar and tabla, Cahalen's songwriting grew closer to home in appreciation of the Americana roots his father brought him up on, while tastefully weaving in a subtle global quality and perspective, creating a pronounced musical signature.

From punchy political commentaries, to melodic, soul warming serenades, Cahalen's songwriting lies somewhere between ragged and beautiful, local and global, at home and out on the road.

Take a listen. Enjoy yourself.
