Dude. The Obscure

Athens, Georgia's T. Hardy Morris (Dead Confederate, Diamond Rugs) is set to release his third solo album on May 25, 2018. Titled Dude, The Obscure, the album is a work that Morris says "flowed from a creative space I found at the intersection of dreams and reality." In captivating songs, Morris sheds the traps of ambition and nostalgia and uncovers the strange satisfaction of living in the moment. Even the album title, "Dude, The Obscure," hints at selfdiscovery. In an homage to English author Thomas

Hardy's novel, "Jude, The Obscure," Morris reveals his love for literature, philosophy and poetry -- along with a secret about his stage name."Thomas Hardy is my given name, and Dude, The Obscure is a moniker I considered using as an artist," Morris said. "The hat tip to the novel seemed appropriate for the album because it deals

with doubts, joys, regrets and spirituality, a lifelong journey and such."
