ROB MORGAN
amplifies artists and
moments that matter.
HA! What a load. Can you imagine meeting me at an Irish pub, asking what I do for a living, and that’s how I responded? haha I’m dying.
Listen, I’m just trying to figure this shit out, and while I’m at it, I help interesting people make cool shit across different mediums, mostly music and photography.
Hunter S. Thompson once said, "On some nights, I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio.” and I kinda feel like life works the same way. That’s probably why I picked up a bass in the first place.
Speaking of quotes, have you ever seen that movie Joe Versus the Volcano? There’s this line in it I love where Meg Ryan’s character says, “My father says that almost the whole world is asleep. Everybody you know. Everybody you see. Everybody you talk to. He says that only a few people are awake and they live in a state of constant total amazement.”
That “state of constant total amazement” is what I call “living a curious life.” It’s why I started my podcast and I’m trying to hold onto that belief even when having to jump-start my Honda Element or figuring out how to pay the bills.
Anyways, here’s a more official sounding bio if that’s more of what you were looking for.
From Grammy-winning artists and arena tours overseas to dive bars in the US, he’s spent over a decade helping artists turn their music into an unforgettable live experience.
As a synth/electric bassist and music director, he’s best known for his work with multi-platinum artist Owl City, building live shows critics have called “elevated to the level of art.”
In 2017, he launched “Rob Morgan Is A Curious Person” - a cult-followed podcast exploring creativity, travel, and staying awake to the wonder of it all. His writing and photography pick up where the tour bus stops - part travelogue, part manifesto of what it means to stay awake in a world that wants you numb.
When not on the road, you’ll find him with his wife Sarah—either at home in Minneapolis or somewhere in Europe.
