Triggers & Slips

Trigger: To initiate or precipitate (a chain of events, scientific reaction, psychological process, etc.)

Slip: A mistake in judgment or to lose one's footing.

Triggers & Slips music is steeped in the psychology of relationships. Like so much country music that came before, his originates in personal mistakes and a stepped on heart.

Led by singer-songwriter Morgan Snow, whose voice has been described as “pure soul,” with hints of familiarity, haunting and powerful with no comparison to pinpoint. It is the one thing you won’t forget. His songs will “hit you in the gut.” Some will hurt, some will make you laugh at him or yourself, but what is shared from night to night after the show is a connection, a new relationship waiting to be revisited and rekindled time and time again.

Joined by fellow singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist John Davis (who splits time between Triggers & Slips and the phenomenal Michelle Moonshine). Davis adds gritty harmonies, but also takes over as lead singer on songs; Blue Smoke, and Benny, (which Davis penned). Having two vocalists with strong songwriting and an ear to compliment one another adds something special an unique to the live performances of Triggers & Slips and their recordings. It’s no wonder that bands like Uncle Tupelo, Alice in Chains, and Willie and Waylon are some of their major influences.

Their career in music has been anything but a straight line. Snow has evolved as a songwriter, a singer, a performer, and as a recording artist. Left to their own devices they have created songs that don't rely on commercial success to drive their body of work. Instead Snow has relied on finding his own voice, and has found likeminded musicians to follow him in his pursuit of writing from the heart, and taking chances. Triggers & Slips blend elements of Country, Honky Tonk, Americana, Folk, Blues, and Rock and Roll and they aren’t afraid to veer from genres. They have traveled to locations throughout the Intermountain West, and beyond. They are currently working on a third album set to be released in the summer of 2019.

As a solo act and under the name Triggers & Slips, Morgan Snow has opened for artists such as Sheryl Crow, Chris Robinson, Justin Townes Earle, Chris Isaak, Steve Miller Band, Patterson Hood, Richard Thompson, JP Harris, Elizabeth Cook, The White Buffalo, Slim Cessna's Auto Club, Whitey Morgan and the 78's, Wayne "The Train" Hancock, Scott H. Biram, Chuck Meade, Jamestown Revival, K. Phillips, Shooter Jennings, and Chatham County Line.
