His North Shore Point House Concerts has brought acclaimed Americana singers, established bluegrass, folk and blues pickers, stripped-down rock 'n' rollers and even a few Grammy winners— the likes of Todd Snider, Steve Forbert, Della Mae, Dave Alvin & Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Kelly Willis, Marshall Crenshaw, Lloyd Cole, Nellie McKay and many more.
Lately, Morrison's nonprofit venture has been booking more performances in actual venues—like Old Dominion University Goode Theatre & Soundstage, Boathouse Live in Newport News, Norfolk's Toast and the Virginia Arts Festival courtyard.
My feature on NSP is now up at the Coastal Virginia Magazine website, one of the many articles I penned for the mag's special May-June 2019 music issue. The online version comes complete with some of Jim's favorite house concert moments, including video clips from past shows.
