Vapors of Morphine are a power trio featuring electric baritone sax, drums, and 2 string slide bass (or some other guitar-like instrument). Baritone saxophonist Dana Colley is the through-line between Vapors of Morphine and “low rock” pioneers Morphine, who's leader Mark Sandman left this earth while performing onstage in Italy in 1999. VoM perform much of the Morphine repertoire, plus new material and original versions of selective covers. They expand on the ethereal, hypnotic sounds popularized by the group in the nineties, and dig into their influences, from African music to delta Blues.

Vapors was formed over a decade ago by Colley, singer and multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Lyons and Morphine’s original drummer Jerome Deupree. Drummer Tom Arey (J. Geils Band, Peter Wolf’s Midnight Ramblers, Ghosts of Jupiter) replaced Deupree in 2019. Their new album Fear & Fantasy" represents both a new era and a return to form for Vapors of Morphine.
