Jordan Morrissey

Born and raised in New Jersey, Jordan Morrissey has been performing live music for over 20 years. Whether it’s fronting numerous bands as both the drummer and lead vocalist, to songwriting, arranging and producing, Jordan has shown himself to be a multi-tasker among his peers.

Starting with pots and pans at the age of 3, Jordan has been playing drums for most of his life. Receiving orchestral training in percussion and group choral vocal training in his early teens and through high school, he learned to perform onstage in a group. Steeped in the classic rock tutelage of his parents, Jordan gravitated to the drum kit at the age of 14, developing his own style informed by Ringo Starr, Keith Moon, Levon Helm, Mitch Mitchel and John Densmoore. The discovery of punk, prog and hard rock and metal in his later teens added a technical yet maniacal edge to his style and led to him joining various punk and metal bands before co-founding and fronting the band And the Zombie from 2006 to 2010 where he functioned as the drummer and lead singer.

During this time, Jordan added songwriting and arranging to his resume, functioning as one of the two primary songwriters and arrangers of the band. He was responsible for half of the bands catalog. He made 2 albums with And the Zombie where he functioned as not only drummer, lead singer and songwriter, but also producer. Jordan’s work with And the Zombie led him to joining other various musical projects which included joining the NJ area prog / jazz fusion band Mythology as their drummer, and starting the indie rock band SubLoco.
