Morning Star is the solo project of Jesse D Vernon. The next album Liminal Zone will be released 4 April 2025.
The new name of the project is Morning Star Music Club since Abby Tsype, Lisa Weisslinger, Philippe Sirop (AKA José) and Yohav Oremiazki joined the project in 2023.
Jesse has been a full time musician for a while, first as a member of indie pyche-rock band The Moonflowers during the 90s then various projects as well as being pretty much a founder member of Kate Stables' This Is The Kit. (Kate and Jesse moved to Paris together and continue to collaborate on many projects. Their daughter, Mo (17) sings on the album and designed the cover).
He has released four previous albums under the name Morning Star from 1997 - 2010, all on French label Microbe. “My Place In The Dust” (2001) was also mixed by John Parish.
Since 2012 Jesse has led a community orchestra in Bristol and Paris (with offshoot orchestras in Hebdon-Bridge, Nantes and London).
The Paris choir are singing on two tracks on the new record. Which ones?
Jesse has played violin in John Parish's live band and is a regular member of This Is The Kit mostly on guitar or piano. He did the horn arrangements on Jessca Hoop's Order Of Romance LP. He's lived in Paris since 2005.
