About Morphine
The Cambridge, Massachusetts power-trio Morphine was admired by critics, influential to peers, and beloved by global fans. Mark Sandman, Dana Colley, Billy Conway, and original drummer Jerome Deupree, adopted a “less is more” philosophy, stripping songs and instrumentation down to their purest forms.
Using a 2-string slide bass, saxophone and drum, they created a unique sound that Sandman dubbed “low rock,” a name that suited his smoky baritone voice and mesmerizing grooves.
Morphine’s timeless music can be discovered over streaming airwaves, in movie soundtracks, inside compilations, on "best of" alternative lists, and in the unexpected places people go to hear something good.
