Morning Glory Live @ AAA
Morning Tourist is the musical project of London-based singer-songwriter Sean McKinney, whose work wanders the space between folk, indie-rock, and alt‐pop while carrying an emotional clarity that’s both restless and intimately familiar.
Born in California and now operating out of London, McKinney first made his mark with the Quiet Lives EP, a collection of songs shaped by the uncertainties and expectations that follow leaving university — feeling “a bit lost at sea,” trying to figure out what comes next.
His debut full-length album, The Endless Eve, solidified Morning Tourist’s sound: indie-folk tinged with bursts of rock, atmospheric synths, soaring harmonies, and guitar passages that shift from solo-acoustic delicacy to bold, full-band dynamics. Lyrically, the album moves through themes of resignation and resolution — not quite giving in, never quite triumphant — grounded by vivid storytelling and an ache for clarity.
