Deep Dark River is Morgan Rider’s prog-folk project. Rider draws upon his classical music heritage, a love of metal and his chops as a solo artist, to create something all of his own. Dark folk, prog-folk, all apt descriptions; his work is could serve as a soundtrack to the novels of Atwood, the Queen of Northern Gothic. His new album “Levithan & the Deep, Dark Blue” has just been released. Deep Dark River will be playing at Kops Records in Oshawa Dec 18 as part of their Jolly Shwally Holidays.
