Formed in Mother Hackney, east London in the early 21st century, Morning Bride is Amity Joy Dunn, Mark James Pearson and Pete Bennett.  

Amity (lead vocals, melodica, accordian, keyboards), Pete (lead and slide guitars) and Mark (lead vocals, rhythm and bass guitars, songs) variously turn out fully-electrified, semi-acoustic or bare-boned, with guest players as and when. 

Morning Bride recently released their long-awaited second album The North Sea Rising, the much-anticipated follow-up to the critically-acclaimed debut Lea Valley Delta Blues.
